If you’ve ever been hesitant to try yoga, you’re not alone. With its emphasis on flexibility, balance and mindfulness, yoga may seem like it’s only for the ultra-fit or deeply spiritual. But the truth is, yoga is for everyone. With the right guidance and supports, almost anyone can practice it – and the benefits, both physical and mental, are well worth it.
This week on Everyday Better, Leah talks to Peloton Instructor Chelsea Jackson Roberts about how yoga and meditation keep her grounded in an unpredictable world. Chelsea also opens up about her pregnancy journey, explaining how yoga has helped her navigate loss and show up as the best version of a parent she can be.
“Yoga brings to the surface the things that we would rather keep hidden,” Chelsea says. That’s why yoga can feel uncomfortable at first; it asks us to face what we’ve been avoiding. But as Chelsea reminds us, that discomfort is also the first step toward healing – and ultimately, thriving.
