In this heart-filling season finale episode, Tamika Chambers, owner of AkiMat Yoga Studio, shares so many amazing things about her life and journey through yoga. We discuss the challenges of teaching yoga as an introvert and the adjustments made during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tamika shares her experience with the evolution of her physical practice and the importance of slow and mindful yoga practices. We also explore the impact of yoga on personal relationships and the transformative nature of an anti-racist yoga teacher training. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the power of vulnerability and knowing when to take a break from teaching. In this part of the conversation, Tamika and Tereney discuss personal experiences, boundaries, and the challenges of saying yes or no to opportunities. We also dig into finding ways to crack the code of incorporating social media/virtual offerings into our lives as yoga teachers. Plus much, much more!
