Ep. #9 Fizz Yasin: Connection Not Perfection

Root & Rise with Lucy

At just a few months old Fizz was diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Disease. This diagnosis meant she spent much of her younger years in & out of hospital to manage her condition, even undergoing open heart surgery. But has she let this hold her back? Absolutely not! In fact, quite the opposite; Fizz is absolutely bursting with life, love & passion. At just 26 she is a fully qualified yoga teacher & Registered Associate Nutritionist with AFN Nutrition UK. Not only does she teach at one of the top yoga studios in London, but she also specialises in Yoga for Cancer, Yoga for Sleep, Yoga for Cardiac & Rehabilitation, Ayurveda Yoga, & Yoga for Kids. She uses her experience & passion to share what she loves with as many people as possible from many different walks of life, all with the message that it’s about CONNECTION & not perfection. In this episode we dive into Fizz’s personal experience of finding yoga, how it helped her navigate the challenges of her teen years, & also how she was inspired to become a teacher (but also the challenges she faced once qualifying). She also shares her top tips for a good night’s sleep, & the basics of Ayurveda & the doshas (& how this knowledge can help you to support your day-to-day wellbeing).
