[Episode 74 of the Intentional Clinician Podcast]
This is a conversation that should not be missed. Ashley Yost and Mali Jane (the owners of AM Yoga in Grand Rapids, MI), as well as yoga instructor and professional counselor Margie Muñoz LLPC, talk to Paul Krauss MA LPC about everything, yoga. The panel believes that “Yoga just feels wonderful,” in addition to discussing the intersection of the physical and emotional health benefits yoga provides. Such a statement may appear straightforward, but what if your life truly “felt good”? Many people complain of chronic stress, body pain, and a lack of sleep in today’s hectic and confusing world, where many people spend 10+ hours a day slumped over a desk or sitting while enjoying themselves on various “screens.”
What if the ancient art of yoga could provide stress reduction, a sense of purpose, a sense of community, as well as physical and mental strength? It accomplishes this for many people. The proof is in the practice, according to the three yoga instructors interviewed on the program. Further, Margie Muñoz, a therapist, shares her knowledge of mental health and how yoga may aid in numerous areas of prevention as well as enhance the counseling/therapy process.
Ashley and Mail have been using the art and science of yoga and meditation to build a wellness community. The 365 Program at AM YOGA aims to give people the chance to practice yoga every day. Their goal is to make yoga accessible to everyone.
