Relations
In this enlightening episode of the podcast, listeners are invited to transform their understanding of relationships and self-connection. Michael Lee, the visionary behind Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, shares his profound wisdom on how early life experiences shape our self-perception and the critical importance of self-acceptance.
The episode delves into the powerful relationship we have with our bodies and how befriending them can lead to a more harmonious life. Michael emphasizes the grace and ease that come from being comfortable in our own skin, which in turn enhances our interactions with the world.
Michael’s insights offer a roadmap for moving beyond mere survival to truly flourishing in life. As he beautifully puts it:
