  • Exploring our Shadows with Grace Tempany - EP 20

    Grace Tempany is a Senior Yin Yoga Teacher and Trainer Pro, who has trained with some of the foremost figures in the yoga and education worlds. She has been practising yoga for over 15 years and teaching since 2013. In this episode, Grace shares her insights into Shadow Work.

    More about Grace:

    Grace is graduate of Trinity College Dublin and the Sorbonne University in Paris, Grace has been a practising teacher for 12 years. She brings robust pedagogical expertise and critical thinking underpinnings to her yoga trainings.
    Grace is specialised in yin, trauma-informed and functional yoga. She has dedicated her research and teaching to providing the most accessible space for everybody to practise being in their bodies, and learn to gain a deeper connection with themselves, their truth, and their journey.

    When talking about Yin Yoga, Grace describes it as:
    “If the body keeps the score, it is Yin that helps us not only know, but feel this to be true. No other practice in the world invites people to their edge of discomfort, asks them to stay there in stillness, and then further invites them to integrate their experience.”
    Grace Tempany

  • Changing the narrative of the female fitness industry with Christina Maxwell - EP 19

    Christina is a personal trainer based in Belfast specialising in female-only coaching, both in person & online. She has been strength training herself for around 10 years and qualified as a PT in May 2021. She's built her passion from witnessing, first hand, how the fitness industry and coaches in that industry take advantage of women and prey on their insecurities all for the sake of a before and after marketing picture, adding no value to these women's lives. Christina founded her own brand EMPOWERED to challenge that narrative and empower women to be the best version of themselves through their strength, fitness and mindset.

    This episode is real talk, a pleasure to record & I hope you love it.
