On Soul Sparks with Saima, we explore how movement becomes a language of the soul and stillness a doorway to deep contentment. Guest Veronique Ory—yoga guide and author of Shine On and Off the Mat—shares a practical, poetic approach to mindfulness: let breath lead, let nature inspire, and let your body express what words can’t. We unpack creative practice, the sacral-heart connection, and accessible rituals (from 20-minute flows to restorative shapes) that release stagnation, reduce perfectionism, and reconnect you to purpose. If you’re seeking grounded, creative, body-led spirituality you can use today, this episode is for you.   About the Guest  : Veronique Ory is a movement and mindful-awareness guide and the author of Shine On and Off the Mat, an interactive blend of stories, music, and yoga practices. Her voice-first teaching style centers self-expression, nervous-system nourishment, and community.   Key Takeaways: Movement is more than exercise—it’s a soul-level language that helps emotions and stories move through the body. Creativity activates the sacral chakra and invites intuition and heart intelligence to lead decision-making. Stillness and movement are partners, not opposites; choose what you need first (walk, yoga, or rest) to arrive at presence. Simple cues—hand to heart and belly, ask “What would you have me know/do?”—build trust and inner guidance. Closing the eyes and following voice-led prompts reduces perfectionism and supports authentic expression over “picture-perfect” poses. Think “life as art”: mindful eating, slower breathing, and nature-inspired motion (trees, ocean) expand everyday awareness. To release stagnation, pair forward folds/twists with the intention of letting go; use breath to “open windows” in the mind. Revisit what lit you up at age ten; those early joys often point toward purpose and sustainable practices now. Short, consistent 20-minute practices (vinyasa, yin, meditation) can reset physiology and fit real schedules. Community matters: shared practice and reflection help counter isolation and strengthen integration.   Connect with the Guest:   Website and all offerings (book, retreats, SHINE community): yogawithveronique.com/ Avail the membership:  https://yogawithveronique.com/register/illuminate-membership-yearly/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
