Inner YogaI loved this gentle listen explain the subtlety of yoga - how the breath impacts our experiences both on and off the mat, effects of yoga on the inner workings on the body and so many other educational tidbits - give it a listen Do You Know You?
You can't properly show up for other people if you don't really know who you are and what your needs are and kind of have a sense of what your boundaries are ...... it's really important to just sit down and think about - OK, who am I?

Let me know which one you are……. the power of prayer……. I found this such an amazing testament to the human capacity and a new look at how prayer and ritual can truly be life saving
