Enneagram+Yoga

On today’s episode we interview Maggie Sparks. Maggie is a devoted dog mom, yoga practitioner & teacher, homebody extraordinaire and dominant  Enneagram One. She discovered the Enneagram in college through a copy of “The Wisdom of the Enneagram” that was passed around her house of 8 girls.  It took about 5 years to land on her own number, but she has leaned into her identification as an Enneagram One and loves to dig deep in discovering others’ Enneagram paths. Practicing Yoga and studying the Enneagram have given her the tools for cultivating self-compassion and kindness towards herself, and she is so grateful to have stumbled upon both!  If you are an Enneagram 1 or Reformer perhaps spend some time meditating on these questions: 1)Tell me a yoga pose that helps you feel less rigid and helps you to move towards a feeling of freedom in your body?2) When do you get most caught up in perfectionism? 3) Were you a serious child? How is the Enneagram helping you be a more playful version of yourself? 4) Enneagram 1s sometimes think of things as right or wrong or good or bad. How is the Enneagram helping you to embrace mystery or the grey of life? 5) Ones often have a strong inner critic. What is your self-talk like and what helps you to be kinder to yourself? 6) What helps you be more optimistic and joyful?  — Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christy001/support
