Yoga practices are like penicillin, not just the poses. One may be medicine to you, but poison to someone else. 

Hi, I am Liz Albanis and welcome to season two of Yoga for Trauma: the Inner fire of yoga. Where we explore how yoga can help release trauma, calm the mind, and reconnect you with your body.

If you've been showing up to your mat regularly, but still feeling anxious, heavy, or stuck in the same emotional loops, this episode is for you.

Personalising your practice to you because you are you. No one in the world [00:01:00] is exactly like you. And our practice, ideally, is personalized to what we need. Hence why yoga was initially taught one-on-one handed down, not taught in a group setting. Learning what you need for your practice, and that will change over the years.

As you get older, your practice will change as your needs change as well. It can be really useful to work one-on-one with someone qualified to learn about what practices suit you. When a yoga practice isn't personalized, it's not tailored to your specific needs. Yoga practices are like penicillin, not just the poses.

One may be medicine to you, but poison to someone else. There are many contraindications [00:02:00]with yoga practices.

This is what I support people with practicing independently improving their mental health. There are so many wonderful yoga practices that aren't taught in group classes just because they can't be. And I hope you've gotten something out of that and it's inspired you to mix it up a bit, add something else into your regular yoga practice.

Thanks again for tuning in. Until next time, never forget the power of yoga.
