72: Leading With Intention with Yoga teacher and entrepreneur, Zaz Grumbar from Yoga with Zaz
The importance of leading with intention instead of fear, on and off the yoga mat...
My guest today is an old friend and all-around powerhouse of a woman! There are so many powerful lessons in this episode friends, I can't wait to share it with you!
Zaz Grumbar from Yoga with Zaz, grew up in Trinidad and Tobago, and came to the UK in her early teens, settling in London, after moving around A LOT with her family. She discovered yoga due to back injuries, after a motorcycle accident in her early twenties left her depressed and in pain and added to her eating disorder struggles.
She fell in love with yoga from the first breath on the mat, and not only regained mobility and body awareness but also discovered a greater sense of connection to herself, peace and inner strength with every practice.
It took her nearly 16 years as a student - and an epiphany that her Nanny was taking home more money than her mortgage - before she dared to change careers entirely from working as a marketing manager with luxury fashion and beauty brands to following her heart and becoming a yoga teacher.
Listen in as Zaz describes how leaping from her high heels to the yoga mat in front of a room full of students has been the most fulfilling thing in her life - apart from her two kids of course - and the challenges that she's had to face along the way.
Zaz shares such powerful lessons about failure, growth, the pressure to be perfect, celebrating our wins, systematic self-care and the importance of putting away our ego to truly open up to what we need.
Zaz's online courses, Level Up Your Yoga, and Prepare to Unfurl, will guide you to find your best self, challenge your self-limiting beliefs, and discover what they might be capable of. Find out more at Yoga With Zaz.
