The State of Potentiality Podcast

It isn’t just a workout. And it sure isn’t just so that you can learn to touch your toes. Yoga is for EVERYONE! If she could only shout one message from the mountaintop, Monika Benkovich would shout this (in mountain pose, of course). The style of yoga that she preaches at Church 444 is one of meeting people where they are, and helping them connect through creativity, movement, and mindfulness techniques. So unroll your mat, and take a deep breath with this week’s episode.

When was the last time you listened to yourself? Connected with your core self? Noticed patterns in your behavior… and did something about it?

Do you have that kind of perseverance? Learn along the way, wear failures as badges of honor, and find happiness in the hurdles with this week’s episode.
