  • Resumen

  • Hey, you! Yea, you! The woman that is interested in yoga but has no idea where to start. This episode is just for you! It's literally an intro to yoga teaching you the basics of yoga and its origins in the Hindu religion. There's also a lot of joking and laughter. :) Today I talk to my homegirl, Zikea McCurdie, yogi, health coach, and all-around wellness guru about the benefits of yoga, especially for Black people.7 benefits (7:42):Improved balanceBetter breathingBetter sleepReduced stressIncreased flexibilityStrengthened mind/body connectionImproved cardiovascular healthZikea dives into the 4 types of yoga (12:54):HathaVinyasaYinRestorativeShe teaches us about the chakras (18:32):Root - redSacral - orangeSolar plexus - yellowHeart - greenThroat - blueThird-eye - indigoCrown - purpleHands and feetAnd, she talks about yoga extending beyond the mat (25:29):Yoga SutrasDharmaKarmaZikea shares a bunch of great resources and advice to get you started on your journey. For example, she tells beginners to think about what works for you and start small. Don't commit to doing yoga everyday for 2-hours a day and then wonder why you can't keep up. Commit to one class. You can even commit to a free class on youtube or other social media. Start small and take it from there.We also talk about the most important thing: your breath! Do not forget to breathe!So I hope you are ready to take notes, because this episode is just the jolt you need!Check out Zikea on Instagram @doseofvitamin.zEpisode references:Warrior Goddess Fitness, Elmwood Park, NJThe Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, book by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.Khepera Wellness Yoga StudioAvatar: The Last Airbender, S2 E19 - The GuruAvatar: The Last Airbender (Live Action)Maslow's Hierarchy of NeedsBhagavad Gita, book by Ved VyasJenna Warriner - Marketing Coach*Get your ticket for The Black Love Healing Circle today on Eventbrite and use code PINKLADY for $10 off!
