What a great episode! I got to sit down and chat it up with the amazing Sophia Da Silva Hopson and she does not disappoint. We get real about teaching yoga and what it truly means to us. Sophia is someone that will bring the best out of you whether on the mat or in a conversation at your local library.

Sophia believes that teaching is an act of service that embodies Maya Angelou’s quote, “When you learn, teach. When you get, give.” This is the quintessence of her core beliefs as a yoga teacher.

As a practitioner of yoga first, she is committed to learning in perpetuity. Sophia is certain that the totality of yoga has something to offer you if you come open, willing and ready to fall madly in love with where you are. She will tell you that Strength and Flexibility are not required, just an open mind and an open heart.

Her classes are a blend of mind/body integration and an emphasis on SOUL.

Tons of gems on this episode, listen in and enjoy your day!!

Stay tuned for Podcast Om My Goodness and check her out at Mosaic Yoga!!

Cheryl Parks from Vida Mai chats about what they will be offering at the festival! See you at the San Diego Yoga Festival March 9th – March 12th!!

Cheryl started practicing yoga about 7 years ago, she decided after about a year to deepen her practice and knowledge of the meaning of yoga and became a yoga teacher! 

 

While traveling to Asia to explore and visit friends, who also have yoga studios in Indonesia, she was very fortunate to be able teach and practice yoga there. 

Cheryl became inspired to start a business that had to do with health and fitness; one place in particular held a special place in her heart, that was the island of Bali. 

 

Sharing the love of travel for many reasons such as expanding her mind creatively when exploring new places or returning to discover more is where the inspiration for our world atlas prints came from as well! Cheryl will have lots to share at the festival! Check out her booth when you’re there!!

Join Stacey Alysson, a Kids Yoga teacher from Los Angeles and author of “Parker Pig Goes to Yoga,” for a story time and Kids/Family Yoga class. “Parker Pig Goes To Yoga” is a children’s yoga book aimed at teaching mindfulness and yoga all while having fun learning animal yoga poses and sounds to go along! All ages welcome to join. Come as you are….

“Parker Pig Goes to Yoga” is a children’s yoga book aimed at teaching mindfulness and yoga all while having fun doing animal yoga poses.

A few of benefits of kids yoga include increasing strength, flexibility, focus, concentration, confidence and giving children the tools to calm their bodies. Through breath and posture, the children are guided through fun animal yoga poses while being told an inspiring story of a Pig who didn’t think she could do Yoga.

Parker overcomes her own fears and doubts, and finds inner peace and calm. Parker is representative of anyone who thinks they can’t do yoga, and this adorable story will leave children not only with a new knowledge of animal poses and sounds, but with a confidence and strength to do them! Namaste!
