Episode Details

My friends and family have always been like, I don't want to say they've been unsupportive, but they definitely did not understand what I was doing.

很多人出于各种原因都认为自己没有能力练习瑜伽。

And if we're not in that bubble, then we think it's not for us. And I've realised that through being visible on social media, there's a way to really shift that paradigm.

如果我们不在这个圈子里，我们就会认为瑜伽不适合我们。我意识到，通过在社交媒体上展现自己的影响力，可以真正改变这种观念。
