- Health & Fitness
In today's episode, we’re joined by the talented Monica Mclean, one of our beautiful yoga teachers who has been with Warrior One since its inception. Join us as she shares her journey to yoga, her background in Chinese medicine and how she brings meridian theory into her practice.
Monica's love of yoga began at 15 years old, guided by her soccer coach who recommended she try out yoga and pilates. As a child athlete, she was drawn to the intensity and sweat of Bikram and power vinyasa, practices which formed the foundation of her teaching style today.
After experiencing burnout as an extremely committed yogi, Monica fell into a more balanced practice as she began to study Chinese medicine, embarking on a full time degree whilst navigating motherhood.
One of the most profound elements of Monica's teaching lies in her deep integration of Chinese medicine and meridian theory into her yoga classes. With her understanding of meridians as energy pathways within the body, Monica explains how each is associated with specific organs and seasons.
By aligning postures, movements and intentions with the principles of Chinese medicine, she facilitates a profound connection between the physical and energetic aspects of yoga practice. This integration adds a rich layer of depth to her teaching, allowing students to explore the healing potential of their bodies and the profound wisdom embedded in these ancient practices.
This conversation was a heartfelt exploration of yoga's transformative power and the timeless wisdom that underpins this practice, and we know you’ll get so much value from the insight Monica shared.
