Vulnerability through slowing down and connecting to breath with Audrey Ingibersdottir

In this episode I sit down with Audrey Ingibersdottir a 500 E-RYT
Yoga Teacher out of New England with roots in Iceland.  
Audrey has landed across career paths over the years and
inevitably realized that doing what she loves can create a whole
new sense of happiness.   Her teachings offer space to come
into a posture attentively with focused intuition. 


Audrey starts this conversation with opening up about her own
personal struggle with anxiety and depression and how the
teachings of yoga helped her to slow down and connect with the
breath.  Audrey expands on her own teaching style and how
she offers this same experience of slowing down and feeling into
the poses as a way for students to work through deeper issues
they may be experiencing. 


We dive into the need for alignment in your teaching and your
values and how important this is when finding a studio to work
at.   Audrey breaks down how the current pandemic allowed
her to take personal pause in her life and reevaluate her
priorities as well as the importance of taking space as a
creative to be present and allow space for the magic to unfold.
 


Together we explore the relationship to the ego and how this can
impact studio owners and teachers.  We also explore the ways
in which our authenticity and integrity is even more needed on
social media and how people choose to share information.  
We touch upon the concept of teacher burnout and finding space as
a teacher for yourself and for your students. 


Audrey closes this conversation by sharing one the most important
lessons she learned from her teacher to not compare someone
else's middle to your beginning and how we are more connected
than we think, reflecting back to one another in unique ways.
  Audrey shares her untapped power for herself and the
collective of how the body and mind are so deeply connected and
how imperative it is for us not to lose sight of that connection
for true transformation to occur.  


In addition to being a yoga teacher Audrey is also an amazing
photography.  To learn more about Audrey’s teaching and
