This week on the podcast, I am joined by Ali Reina. Ali’s yoga journey began in 2014 when she took a yoga class to help prepare her body physically for a half marathon, but she was amazed at how yoga provided her with the mind-body-soul connection that alleviated any worries and anxieties that she brought to the mat.

A chronic health diagnosis a year later limited her physically, as she was unable to exercise in the same way. Gentle yoga classes were the only type of exercise that she was able to do, and for her, yoga became a critical part of her healing journey and lifestyle change.

A classroom teacher for 11 years, Ali decided to follow a new path in teaching others about the mind-body connection yoga has to offer. She received her 200-hour yoga teacher training and is also certified in yin yoga, chair yoga, and yoga nidra. She created her business, Gentle Waves Yoga, in 2021 to educate others and help them experience the benefits of the gentler styles of yoga, especially for those with chronic health conditions.

In this episode of the podcast, Ali shares her journey with yoga and chronic illness, the benefits of the gentler styles of yoga and why we should consider offering them to our students, as well as the process of creating her business and some of the biggest lessons she’s learned through the journey.
