Ep.5 - Body and Mind - a podcast by Noor Kidwai

In this episode I talk to Yoga and Meditation teacher Dena Jackson.  Dena has also released a Ted Talk entitled “Yoga is 90% off the mat”.  She is also a Comedian whose latest album “Blue Lights” can be purchased on all platforms. 

In this episode Dena discusses her Yoga and Meditation practice.  How those practices started and evolved.  She shares her experiences of going on a Yoga retreat and what a retreat consists of.  She explains different types of Yoga and also shares her experiences becoming a Yoga teacher in India and what that training entails. 

Noor and Dena also discuss their Meditation practices.  They explain how meditation changes your relationship with your thoughts.  They discuss what Mindfulness is and learning how to be more present in life.  They also explain how mediation helps gain emotional control and can be used to break mental patterns that are not serving you.

Dena also shares her complicated relationship with religion and how Yoga and Meditation influenced that.
