In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Pragya sits down with Veronique Ory celebrated yoga teacher. author. and founder of The Shine Membership to unpack the overlooked intelligence of the body. This conversation dives into embodied awareness. autoimmune experiences like vitiligo. and the journey of learning to collaborate with your body rather than control it. Veronique shares how slowing down. befriending discomfort. and honoring the seasons of your inner world can open the door to emotional. physical. and spiritual healing. This conversation is designed for anyone who feels disconnected. overwhelmed. or stuck in old patterns. and wants a grounded pathway back to presence. self-trust. and vitality. About the Guest: Veronique Ory is an international yoga teacher. author. retreat facilitator. and founder of The Shine Membership. Her journey spans from the demanding world of New York theater to leading global embodiment-based mindfulness experiences. Living with vitiligo has shaped her advocacy for body neutrality. authentic presence. and empowerment through embodiment. She blends yogic wisdom with grounded self-discovery practices that help people reconnect with their inner light and lived truth. Key Takeaways: The body constantly communicates through stress. tension. burnout. and physical symptoms. Learning to pause and listen is the first step to healing. Autoimmune symptoms like vitiligo can become powerful teachers around self-acceptance. surrender. and releasing control. Most people fear being beginners. but embodying “beginner’s mindset” is essential for growth. resilience. and self-compassion. Yoga and meditation create intentional pauses that counter the intensity of modern life and retrain the nervous system. Comparison drains energy. Reclaiming focus by turning inward and honoring your present body is where transformation begins. Befriending discomfort creates expansion. and embodiment practices help regulate emotional turbulence. Healing is non-linear. Feeling insecure about your body at times is normal. not a failure. Service. purpose. and contributing to others are powerful ways to get out of self-judgment loops. True empowerment comes from aligning with the people. places. and practices that elevate your inner world. Yoga meets you where you are. There is no “right time” or “perfect body” required. starting small is still starting.
