Briiohn Covert | YogaScussion Ep. 17
In this YogaScussion, yoga teacher Briiohn Covert shares her transformative journey from managing scoliosis, back pain, and endometriosis to finding healing through body awareness yoga and mindful movement. Discover how yoga for chronic pain management, breath work for anxiety relief, and overcoming body shame through yoga practice can support your wellness journey. Briiohn reveals how the mind-body connection in yoga helps release disconnection from physical sensations, while her teaching philosophy emphasizes showing up as you are—because if you’re breathing, you can do yoga. Learn practical breath work for anxiety relief through nostril breathing, yoga for women with endometriosis, and how finding your authentic yoga teaching voice creates safer spaces for students navigating chronic pain, comparison culture, or seeking embodied presence on and off the mat.
