Q. What’s one piece of advice you could give to someone to transform or take their yoga practice to the next year ( from a beginner to an intermediate)

Pheobe: Oh! that’s a tough one.
I would say, listen to your body, but also challenge yourself. Flirt (don’t push) with your boundaries because on the other side is growth, evolution and transformation.
For example, try a challenging yoga pose, do something you haven’t done before, meditate for longer, try a different technique, try a different yoga asana style, do something out of your comfort zone! You never know what you will learn about yourself and the incredibly deep, never-ending world of yoga!

Q. How does yoga help with easing the mind?

Pheobe: Personally, yoga for me, helps to ease the mind as it helps me to slow down, breathe and reestablish the connection to myself and become present with what is truly happening in that beautiful moment.
As soon as I become present the mind slows down and doesn’t get carried away with the little monkey jumping around in my mind.
