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

Get ready for an inspiring journey as Paulina Podbiello takes us on her yoga adventure! Living in bustling New York City, Paulina initially struggled to connect with yoga's slow pace and relaxation. But everything changed when she joined a transformative yoga teacher training program at the Bhakti Center. The experience opened her eyes to the profound depth of yoga beyond just poses, shifting her life in unimaginable ways.

One of the key elements Paulina emphasizes is the power of community. In a city that can feel isolating, she found solace and belonging in the supportive network of like-minded yogis. The camaraderie and shared mission ignited a sense of fulfillment rarely found in the fast-paced cityscape.

Moreover, Paulina’s teaching style is all about infusing childlike energy and playfulness. She encourages her students to embrace curiosity and let go of judgment, fostering an environment that feels light, joyful, and free. With each class, she guides her students to explore their bodies and breathe in the present moment, unleashing their inner child and inviting them to rediscover the wonder of life.

Building connections is another pillar of Paulina's approach. Treating her students as equals, she creates a safe space for self-exploration and growth. Influenced by her hypnotherapy background, Paulina seeks to guid  her students into deep relaxation during shavasana, facilitating a transformative integration process.

Beyond the yoga mat, Paulina understands the challenges of finding inner peace and balance in our fast-paced lives. She emphasizes the importance of daily rituals and routines that anchor us, providing stability and support in the face of life's demands. In Poland, where yoga was once viewed with skepticism, Paulina sees a remarkable shift as more people hunger for the wellness practices that yoga offers. The wellness industry is blossoming, and Paulina envisions a future where yoga becomes accessible to all, irrespective of background or financial means.
