Yoga instructor Angela Francis discusses her introduction to meditation and healing yoga at Sewall House Yoga Retreat during her interview on the “What Brought You Here Today?” podcast. Many thanks to the host, Ryanne Truh Mellick, for allowing us to post her audio here.
We’ve cued the player below to start with the part about Sewall House — around 18:30 to 22:30 — but we recommend listening to this whole inspiring episode, and then exploring the other episodes in the series.
“[Sewall House] just felt so right… It was the first time I ever sat and tried mediation. We were sitting on this little bridge over a river that we walked to, and it’s just so peaceful. It was the first time I ever sat for 30 minutes without doing something, without talking, without interacting. When it first started, it was pretty hard. But then I started listening to the sounds of the water and feeling the sun. That was the first time I really embodied mindfulness.”
