The Unstoppable Shay Peretz: Yoga, Beats, and Triumph Over Adversity
There's something to be said, man, when your students come to your sessions. Like this is a community where, as soon as you kind of get off the subway, you've landed in another culture, you've landed in another part, and this is an area where, like you've landed on, but that's not unique to Sweden, you know, that's very much the same.
Picture this: a yoga class set to the rhythm of Janet Jackson and James Blake. Intrigued? Meet Shay Peretz, a yoga teacher with Israeli roots, who found his way to Stockholm via Argentina and Los Angeles. In this episode of 'Yoga Radio Sessions', hosts Christian Wigardt and Curt Lundberg dive into a conversation with Shay about his unique journey and unconventional approach to yoga.
Shay's classes are anything but ordinary; they blend the serenity of yoga with the pulsating beats of electronic music, creating an experience that's as refreshing as it is unexpected. But Shay's story goes beyond the yoga mat. After a harrowing kitesurfing accident that left him with eight titanium bolts in his body, Shay's determination to move forward is nothing short of inspirational. His journey from pain to recovery is a testament to the human spirit's resilience.
Throughout the episode, Shay shares his thoughts on self-definition, the pitfalls of labeling and self-judgment, and the profound impact of community and shared experiences. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just curious about integrating music into your practice, Shay's insights will leave you motivated and uplifted.
