Tailoring the Benefits of Yoga to the Needs of the Young with Charlotta Martinus
In this week's episode, Caroline has the pleasure of talking with visionary yoga crusader Charlotta Martinus. They discuss the changes in attitudes to yoga over the last 20 years, and how yoga is not only a vehicle of clarity, groundedness and strength but can also be tailored to combat specific challenging personal issues and as a preventative health model.
Please join them as they turn down the volume of the logical mind and look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Yoga is about much more than maintaining a strong and flexible body. It has a profound impact on how the brain works and emotional health,
- Yoga stills the thought waves and tunes you into your body.
- For teens, yoga is especially helpful. Particularly for those coping with the fallout from CoVid and social anxiety.
- What you are looking for is inside yourself. Yoga helps unlock that.
- When you practice enough you create new neural pathways and you become genuinely at peace.
- Research proves yoga is very effective for reducing anxiety.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When we try and understand something, we see it from our own perspective. ´
‘Our body is simply the vehicle that we use to gain balance in our minds.’
‘It's actually this big blissful space where I feel at peace with myself. That can only happen with a teacher, though.’

PODCAST DESCRIPTION
This is a podcast series about discovery, understanding, revelation, and stories.
How we perceive the world is rooted in everything that has influenced us throughout our lives, emotionally and psychologically. We become the sum of our parts and each of us has our own unique view of the world. 'Vision' truly is an act of interpretation.
In this podcast series through fascinating conversations, I set about trying to understand how we form our perceptions, view different perspectives, and examine how perception has influenced, inspired, or hindered the lives of each of my unique guests.
