I was so excited to be a guest on the Your Radiant Spirit podcast. 🤍

We talked about slowing down, nervous system healing, burnout, and learning to feel more at home in your body through gentle, grounded practices.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, inflamed, foggy, or disconnected, this episode is such a beautiful reminder to choose softness, awareness, and progress over perfection. ✨

In today’s episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I'm joined by Michelle Lamanski, a trauma-aware RYT-500 yoga instructor and holistic health coach who helps women feel more at home in their bodies.

Michelle shares her personal journey from chronic stress and corporate burnout to building a grounded, body-centered approach to healing. We talk about what it really means to slow down, reconnect with your nervous system, and choose progress over perfection, especially in a world that constantly asks us to do more.

This conversation is gentle, honest, and deeply relatable if you've ever felt foggy, inflamed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.

7 ways to make yogi squat feel steadier, safer, and more accessible. Save this for later

Side plank feels hard because it asks for strength in places a lot of us rarely train — obliques, shoulders, and outer hips.

Instead of forcing the pose and hoping your body catches up, build the strength that actually supports it.

These simple movements train the exact muscles that stabilize side plank, so over time it starts to feel steadier, stronger, and more controlled — not shaky, stressful, or frustrating.

And here’s the most important part: progress in yoga isn’t about struggling through it or holding it longer than your body wants. It’s about listening smarter.

Some days your body wants challenge.
Some days it wants support.
Both are valid. Both are yoga.

If side plank has ever felt discouraging, come back to this. Save it. Repeat it. Let your strength build gradually — without pressure, without comparison, and without forcing.

Your body is always communicating.
Learning how to listen is where real progress happens. 🧘‍♀️💕
