What to expect in the Yoga In Brazil episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast

Nubia was “picked up” by yoga when she was 16. The ability to express her feelings and moods was always of great importance to her. Practicing yoga helped her to realize that art and spiritual practices are completely intertwined. Nubia grew up Catholic, and grew up knowing about the divine presence and found yoga to be a great shelter. As Nubia describes it, “Yoga is a way to converse and commune with the divine.”

As a Bhakta, a devotee of the Divine Mother, Nubia feels grace move through her and her life live a river. She shares with us the bounty she has received in this life, and about the three most vital practices of yoga— listening, feeling, and seeing. She also shared a powerful incarnation with us which she teaches her students— ““May I see what I need to see in order to do what I need to do. May I hear what I need to hear in order to say what I need to say. May I feel what I need to feel, in order to heal what I need to heal.”
