In this week’s show, we are joined by Sarah Manning, an award-winning senior yoga instructor with a rich background of over 25 years in yoga teaching experience. Sarah’s journey from the logical world of engineering to the holistic realm of yoga and fertility is as fascinating as it is enlightening.
What we talked about
Sarah’s transition from a career in engineering to becoming a yoga instructor was influenced by her move to the Middle East and Singapore, and her encounter with Harriet Russell, a yoga teacher from the Kripalu School of Yoga. Sarah’s approach to yoga is deeply rooted in science, energy, and the intricate dance between the physical and metaphysical aspects of our being.
Fertility yoga, as Sarah explains, is not just a physical practice but a holistic approach that encompasses the movement of energy, diaphragmatic breathing, and the balance of yin and yang. She underscores the importance of adapting yoga practices to the individual’s menstrual cycle and Ayurvedic imbalances, offering a tailored experience that addresses specific needs and challenges.
Sarah’s insights into the Chinese and Indian healing modalities, and her expertise in qigong, illuminate the pathways to harmonising the body’s energy. She emphasises the role of the vagus nerve and the parasympathetic nervous system in fostering a state of rest and restoration, crucial for optimal reproductive health.
Sarah’s insights remind us of the profound connections between our physical, mental, and spiritual selves, offering pathways to enhanced health, wellbeing, and fertility. In a world often dominated by external noise, Sarah’s wisdom invites us to turn inward, to listen to our intuition, and to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing that is as profound as it is transformative.
