Empowered Yogi Podcast

Overcome persistent low back pain with yoga therapy, physiotherapy, and nervous system healing. Hosted by Cathy Aganoff, physiotherapist, yoga teacher, and founder of TriBalance Studio in Brisbane. If you’ve been sidelined by a recurring low back injury and feel like your yoga practice may be slipping away, you’re not alone. Rest, acupuncture, massage, or even standard physio might give short-term relief, but they don’t always break the cycle of pain and flare-ups. Here’s the truth: you’re not just a body. You’re a complex, multidimensional being: mind, body, and emotions all influencing your recovery. Pain is not only physical; it’s shaped by your beliefs, your stress levels, and your nervous system. On The Empowered Yogi Podcast, Cathy combines 20+ years of physiotherapy expertise with yoga philosophy to help you: Reclaim your yoga practice without fear of re-injury.Retrain your nervous system to break free from pain pathways.Modify postures and build strength safely for long-term resilience.Heal at all three levels: mind, body, and emotions.

Every episode blends neuroscience, movement, and spirituality to help you transform pain into possibility. Because this isn’t just about healing your back pain. It’s about reclaiming your freedom, joy, and the lifestyle you thought you had to leave behind: yoga retreats, long hikes, bike rides, and everyday movement with confidence. ✨ Hit Follow and join Cathy each week to reprogram your body and mind for a stronger, more resilient, and spiritually aligned you.
