Welcome back to Wandering Yogi Podcast! On this episode, I'm excited to welcome yoga teacher, personal trainer, and nutrition expert Jessie Howkins! Jessie shares her journey  from being a 3-sport athlete to redefining her relationship with fitness. We chat all about balancing the masculine and feminine in wellness, and getting out of the mindset of competition in yoga. Jessie offers her insight on what holistic health really means, how to determine what holistic practices are best for you, and the empowerment that comes from taking control of your health. You'll hear how we sort through the "trendy" health tips to find the real wisdom and reconnect with your self-worth.

Welcome back to Wandering Yogi Podcast! On this episode, I'm excited to welcome back yoga teacher, astrologer, and guide, Kerry Martinez! Kerry and I dive into all things Earth medicine- specifically Plant, Animal, and Stone medicines. We begin by recognizing Nature's cycles, and the reciprocity that exists between us and the earth. Kerry offers lessons she's learned from Mother Earth, from Indigenous teachers, and from ritual. She shares her own practices for building altars, connecting with Earth's energy, working with Earth medicine, and more! We take time to explore Plant, Animal, and Stone medicines, and how we may work with these medicines ethically and honorably. This conversation is a reminder of the importance of connecting with Nature and finding ourselves there.

Hello, wanderers! Welcome to this episode of Wandering Yogi Podcast with my guest, Georgina Large (a.k.a. Georgina Mariee)! In this episode, Georgina shares about her mental health journey and how yoga helped her heal. She speaks to the agency and vulnerability required in both her recovery from an eating disorder and in her practice of yoga. We also touch on navigating social media, setting asana goals, and learning to listen to your body when you don't want to feel what you're feeling.

Ugonma and I talk all about walking a spiritual path, and the many ways in which we can care for ourselves along the journey.

Ezzie shares her journey from a mystical childhood in Australia, to a law degree and PhD, to aligning with the Moon, to growing a global coaching business.
