Yoga Outside the Mat: Living the Practice Daily
Yoga is more than poses — it’s a philosophy for living.
In this episode of Everything But The Lesson Plan, Franchesca Thompson sits down with yoga instructor and mindfulness coach Chanda Floyd-Bryant to explore how yogic principles like mindfulness, self-compassion, and intentional breathing can transform daily life.
Together they discuss stress, healing, emotional resilience, and how educators and everyday people can bring yoga into their lives — even if they never step on a mat.
This conversation is honest, reflective, and full of practical wisdom for anyone navigating a busy and overwhelming world.
