Episode Description

Sophie Malahieude shares her 28-year yoga journey from rejection by her first teacher to discovering home in embodied practice. A life coach for midlife women, she bridges yoga, Ayurveda, and emotional intelligence—teaching how to trust the body over intellect, rebalance through awareness, and transform emotions from obstacles into messengers. Sophie discusses her new book Beyond Emotions, inherited trauma, ego versus intellect, and why yoga is ultimately about coming back home.
