In this episode of the Wild Wonder Podcast, host Kristen Llorca speaks to Chair-Based Yoga Specialist and Yuva Yoga Founder Maria Jones about the importance of the breath, breathing exercises, and gentler yoga movements as a vehicle for profound physical and mental healing. Maria was diagnosed with systemic lupus in 2004, which made her reconsider what "good health" means as a person who is chronically ill. Here she shares what she's discovered on her journey, and offers real tools for individuals of all abilities, proving yoga really is for everyone.
MARIA JONES
"Maria Jones is a bundle of joyful energy. A yoga teacher with a passion for serving others, Maria takes immense pleasure from her classes. It is this infectious positivity and good-spirit that makes her teaching so incredible. Maria’s unfaltering enthusiasm is all the more inspiring given her history of debilitating illness, forcing her to leave a career in engineering. Nonetheless, it is in yoga that Maria cites she has found her purpose, to inspire and brighten the lives of her students."
- Melissa Albarran for Yoga Magazine 2020.
