    My Story: an exploration of how trauma informed yoga found me and ways to support an unstable nervous system

    I thought it was important before we dive into conversation with my guests for you to get to know me better. Therefore, episode 1 is about my story...my journey understanding, processing, and soothing a nervous system post traumatic event. My intention is to create space for all of us to learn, respect, and appreciate each other's experience so we can cultivate a more compassionate world.  I have to say it was really odd to record this on my own in my tiny bedroom! I sat on my bolster in my jammies, a cup of tea in my hand, and spilled my heart out. It was another major learning curve and although I feel like I could edit and re-record forever...I have to trust my own self and know that similar to teaching a 60 min yoga class, I can't get everything I want to say in one go! Please reach out if you have any questions or are interested in sharing your own story.  Om Shanti Shanti Shanti  xx Madeleine xx --- Come join the family! https://www.instagram.com/__offthemat__/ https://www.facebook.com/offthemat.mbongyoga http://mbongyoga.com/ off the mat is a one woman production platform.

    What is off the mat?

    Welcome to off the mat, an educational and safe space podcast focusing on sharing stories about an individual’s (or group) healing journey. off the mat was brought to you with the intention of cultivating unity, connection, and compassion. off the mat founder, Madeleine Bong, found her own healing through education, yoga, and community. She has found comfort through listening to others stories and therefore wants to offer a platform of collective sharing to open the door for greater understanding and kindness. Madeleine has also observed the detrimental effects on the emphasis of the physical practice of Yoga in the Western world and the overall cultural appropriation of Yoga. This leads to but is not limited to: gaslighting, body shame, and exclusion of BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities. Madeleine is interested in listening, creating supportive safe spaces, and learning ways to take the practices of Yoga (unity, connection, compassion) off the mat, out of the studio, and into the real World. --- Come join the family! https://www.instagram.com/__offthemat__/ https://www.facebook.com/offthemat.mbongyoga http://mbongyoga.com/ off the mat is a one woman production platform.
