Manage episode 516252566 series 3684396
In this episode of The Inner Practice, Brittney shares her heartfelt journey of growth and healing. With an elite athletic background, Brittney found herself moving from the demanding aspects of elite soccer to being drawn to yoga and later to fascial stretch therapy—discovering how these practices not only supported her own well-being but also opened the door to helping others heal.
We talk about the challenges that shaped her, the wisdom she’s gained along the way, and how movement can become medicine when it’s rooted in presence and compassion.
If you’ve ever wondered how the body can guide us toward recovery, resilience, and deeper connection, Brittney’s story will inspire you.
