Episode Synopsis

For years, I believed yoga would save me. And for a while — it did. Until it didn’t. In this episode, Dr. Connie Cheung opens up about the point in her journey when her beloved practice stopped working — when meditation became too hard, movement felt disconnected, and her body could no longer be “fixed” through willpower. What followed was a radical redefinition of what healing really is. You’ll hear how Functional Yoga Medicine™ was born — not as another method, but as a reclamation. And how most people are practicing yoga with a nervous system still stuck in survival… which means their practice becomes performance, not presence. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things and still stuck — this episode is your invitation to begin again, with your body as your guide.  https://functionalyogamedicine.com/, https://www.hossystems.com/fymcp-humanOS, https://www.hossystems.com/human-os-health-reset,  #WhyYogaDidntFixMe #HumanOS #FunctionalYogaMedicine #SomaticHealing #NervousSystemReset #TraumaInformedYoga #HealingIsNotPerformance #EmbodiedHealing #EASEMethod #YogaThatHeals
