Her yoga classes are anatomy-informed and her instructions are geared towards injury prevention and connection to one's breath. She understands and reminds her students that skeletal differences and anatomical variations will stop us from looking like yoga models in pictures, so it is best is to focus on the inner journey. By bringing everything back to the breath, she helps the practitioner learn asana in a way that is relatable and easy to practice, so that it may be taken anywhere. What to expect in the Yoga In Bermuda episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast We talked about the power of being in a yoga class with others, and the communal impact of a yoga class. As social beings, being in a yoga classroom with other people doing the same thing as you is a powerful experience. Maryem defines yoga as “yoga lies somewhere in between grounding and connecting.” Our conversation flowed so naturally as we touched on how humility is vital in a yoga practice, as is the need to be compassionate and kind to our bodies and to each other. In regards to yoga in Bermuda, Maryem points out how yoga has been accepted globally not just because it’s mainstream, but because the benefits are real and have now been scientifically proven. She sees Bermuda as a reflection of that. And did you know that Bermuda is only 21 square miles big? That tiny of an island means a tight-knit community. With abundant natural beauty, Bermuda really is Bermudaful! For the skimmers - What’s in the yoga in Bermuda episode?
