A moving conversation with yoga teacher Holly Green on surrendering to life’s challenges, finding inner wisdom, and living with soulful presence.

When life delivers the unimaginable, where do you find your strength?

In this heartfelt episode of Hey Soul Sista, I sit down with yoga teacher and soulful guide Holly Green, whose journey weaves together ancient yogic wisdom, the raw realities of motherhood, and the courage to walk the path life lays before you.

Holly shares the spiritual depth of yoga beyond the poses — from surrendering to the divine, to discovering Dharma, to recognising and breaking unhelpful patterns. She opens up about the life‑altering moment she learned her 3‑month‑old son Joey had a brain tumour, the resilience that followed, and how yogic teachings became a lifeline through grief, fear, and change.

We explore:


The true spiritual heart of yoga — and why most of us have only seen a fraction of it


What surrender really means, and why it’s often the hardest (and most freeing) thing to do


How to recognise patterns in your life and shift them for good


Simple, soulful practices for self‑inquiry and self‑awareness you can start today


Finding teachers (and friends) who lovingly challenge and guide you

Whether you’re curious about yoga, navigating a difficult chapter, or simply seeking more presence and peace, Holly’s story will remind you that you don’t need to control the path — only to walk it with courage and grace.
