In this episode of YOTM, entrepreneur and CEO Jeremy Vincent shares his journey from a traditional religious background to discovering spiritual wellness through yoga. We explore how mindfulness with food sparked a broader exploration into yoga and spiritual practices. Jeremy reflects on their initial resistance to yoga, the role of presence in uncovering our true selves, and how being present helps us navigate life’s lessons. We discuss transitioning from religious teachings to a spiritual practice, finding peace with what is, and surrendering to a higher purpose. Learn how observing thoughts without becoming them can deepen our understanding and foster personal growth. Jeremy also delves into the impact of yoga on workplace dynamics, offering insights on how self-awareness enhances our roles as colleagues and leaders.
