Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday!
On the podcast today we’re sharing our final session from Seek The Joy Summer with Phoebe Leona, Founder of nOMad always at OM and Lea Isidora Onayan, 200-hr nOMad Teacher & Mvt109™ Facilitator.
In this session Phoebe shares her tips for bringing greater community into our lives this summer and how we can begin to translate our newfound digital communities into in-person communities. From transition comes community, and we chat about the role community has played in Phoebe’s life, what she’s looking forward to the most this summer with her community, and how nOMad has created community and its impact. It’s an opportunity to reflect and remember that within life’s transitions is a beautiful opportunity for community. If you’re in a state of transition, especially as the world begins to open up again, trust and know that community will come from it, community will shift as a result of it, and when you step into community and connection it opens you up to greater possibilities.
Plus, stay tuned until the end of our conversation with Phoebe for a special Summer Solstice Yoga Flow with Lea. We’re also sharing these sessions on our YouTube channel, which is a great way to tune into the yoga flow!
I’m so excited to share this week’s new episode with Phoebe, and I can’t wait to hear what you think! Make sure to join the conversation on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!
“People want to be together again. I think that people are still a bit apprehensive of what that’s going to look like, and we are going to do our best with nOMad to hold space both on and offline in spaces of community.”
nOMad always at OM offers new experiences on & off the yoga mat around the world & within, the creator of the somatic movement practice, Mvt109™ and co-founder of TRIBE which brings the tools of yoga to the military. She has been featured at DailyOM, TEDx Talk, on Seek the Joy podcast and her own, The Space in Between. Phoebe guides transformation through movement & expanded awareness practices, so you feel empowered & committed to embodying who you are to have a greater sense of belonging in this world. Phoebe believes if we are each more connected to our bodies and our inner world, then our outer relationships, communities, and planet will all be holistically integrated and could more easily solve the health problems of our physical, mental, emotional bodies collectively. Her mantra she lives, “awareness is the transformation.”
Lea’s love for mindful movement began at a young age as she trained in classical ballet for over 18 years and continued with Yoga when she received her 200-HR certification through Riverstone Yoga & nOMad always at OM. In May of 2020, she received her BA in Dance with a concentration in Body, Science, & Motion from Marymount Manhattan College. She then furthered and expanded her movement education and received her Level 1 & Level 2 Mvt109™ Facilitator certification from nOMad always at OM/Phoebe Leona.Through her work, Lea is dedicated to creating a community of equity and inclusion within the yoga and wellness space.
