Be The Tortoise
Welcome to your mindfulness journey into how to "become the tortoise". In a world that glorifies 'doing more' and many living in dysregulation and chronic stress, learning how to slow down, tune in to our bodies and listen in to what we intuitively need is a priority we all need to adopt.
As a dedicated Yogi and Meditation Facilitator, I have designed this podcast for the ones who keep hitting burn out. The ones who want to do it all but are no longer willing to compromise their health to get there. The ones who (just like me) aren't afraid to dream big, have a zest life and know deep down that they are worthy of having it all without running themself into the ground to claim it.
Join me for special solo episodes and educational conversations with special guests for real, authentic deep dives into everything yoga, conscious living, wellness, mindset, philosophy, self love, and mindfulness all designed to inspire new ways of living for you and your loved ones.
I am so excited you are here on this journey with me,

54. Exploring the concept of balance in real life with Yoga Therapist Jasmine Matus
In this special guest episode, we are joined by the lovely Jasmine Matus. Jasmine is a qualified yoga therapist, hatha yoga teacher and somatic movement educator. Jasmine has studied many other modalities outside the yoga sphere that have all contributed to her understanding over the years as a teacher including art therapy, nervous system work with Irene Lyon, an introductory course into psychoneuroimmunology as well as in another lifetime where she studied jewellery and object design.
Together we explore the concept of balance and how we can apply balance in our day to day life. Bringing the idea of balance out of theory and providing a tangible way of experiencing this state of being.
Topics we discuss in the episode:
- Jasmines own experience with juggling too much all at once and the consequences
- Jasmines yogic perspective on balance and how we fluctuate in and out of it
- Why forcing balance can consequently create unbalance in our lives
- Burnout and what to do about it
- The link between instability in the body and instability in the mind
- How to practice yoga intelligently
- Understanding the myth of emptying the mind through self awareness
- Nervous system signs to prevent burn out from occuring
- Rituals to regulate your nervous system to encourage a state of balance
- A self soothing 2 minute practice you can do NOW
