Welcome Loves!
I am SO glad you are here.
In this week’s episode I am joined by Machelle Lee, Founder of Roots & River Yoga.
Machelle specializes in the health and rehabilitation of fascia, connective tissues, and joints as a Depth Psychologist, Chinese Medicine Facilitator, and Educator in her passion Yin Yoga. Machelle also travels around the world offering trainings in the science and psychology of Meridian Theory, Comparative Anatomy and Yoga Teacher Trainings.
You guys know I LOVE geeking out on the way the body works and the mind, body, universe connection and in this episode we go deep into origin stories of Chinese Medicine, Yin Yoga, and the connection of it all.
Machelle also takes us on the personal journey of how she used yoga practice to heal her depression early in life, which became the catalyst for a life long deep love for the lifestyle and practice.
If you love learning about the body and want to dive in deeper to the origins and workings of yin yoga, then this is your Jam!
What we dive into:

Every time I get the chance to hear more about our fascia and the intelligence of how our systems work together I am just mesmerized. In my mind it just opens the door to so many other possibilities. I hope you’re inspired to give yin yoga at try or go deeper in your own practice!
