Hey everyone. Welcome back to Seeking Witchcraft. It's me your host, Ashley. Today, I have an in-person recording

with my good friend Sherry, who is here to talk about yoga and witchcraft. So thanks so much for coming on,

Sherry. Hi, everyone. I'll just introduce myself real quick. My name is Sherry. I am a certified yoga instructor at the 200-hour level.

I'm also a gardenarian which Ashley is actually my high priestess. So I have heard a thank for a lot of,

you know, just everything I've learned over the past few years about witchcraft. I'm very grateful.

And in addition to teaching yoga, I'm also a runner and a power

lifter. I'm very passionate about fitness and movement and how it can be incorporated into a

witchcraft practice and how the two can fuel one another. Awesome. Well, I do not practice yoga,

so I am here to learn right along with all of you. And I guess my first question is,

so how does yoga and witchcraft fit in with each other? So to start, they actually share the same

goals. And these goals are to increase wisdom, increase your psychic abilities, explore yourself,

and attain higher levels of consciousness,

and connect with divinity or spirit or whatever it is that you might be worshipping.

The difference is yoga has a very holistic approach to these goals because of the physical

aspect of the practice.

And I think that that physical aspect of yoga makes it increasingly beneficial

to a witchcraft practice, and it can help a witch carry out their magic more efficiently.

So, you know, caring for your physical body and making it stronger can clear your mind and

your focus, and it allows your energy to flow more freely.

So that means that you can manipulate your own energy towards your magical goal.

So that's why I think yoga and witchcraft go so well together.

Awesome. Well, I've tried to do yoga in the past.
