Episode description

Yoga is more than just an instagram trend!!

In this episode we are joined by the lovely Filipa, the founder of viryaretreat, a yoga and mindfulness retreat in Portugal that will be taking place this July!

In this episode, Filipa challenges the stereotypes which come with being a yoga teacher, and the practice of yoga in general - touching on perfectionism and body image. She discusses her personal relationship with yoga, how it slowly became an important aspect of how she lives her life, and how it has acted as a gateway to discovering spirituality.

We had an amazing time recording with @whereisfili and chatting about all things mindfulness, a topic we both feel passionate about but definitely are not the most educated in! If you like her ethos and are interested in booking a spot on her retreat, make sure you follow @viryaretreat on instagram where you can access all necessary information and book your spot!

So... pour yourself a matcha and we hope you enjoy listening! 🍵 Follow us on instagram (@the.matcha.diaries) to stay up to date on our lives or to let us know your thoughts on the episode!
