Ever felt like a stranger in your own body? Our guest Sarah, a certified mental health-aware yoga teacher, intimately shares her journey of battling depression and anxiety to finding solace in slow, mindful yoga. Sarah opens up about her struggle with disconnection from her body and the powerful role yoga played in her ability to heal, regain control, and foster a healthier relationship with her body and mind. 

Moving from the mat to the heart, we delve into the significant role of compassion in our interactions. Through discussion of Sarah's experiences, we uncover how judgments, beliefs, and fears can hinder our life experiences and relationships. Sarah emphasizes the importance of living with feelings, rather than numbing them away, as a path to greater emotional stability and well-being. We also explore how slow, mindful yoga can have a profound impact on our nervous system and overall wellness. If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and learning to slow down, this episode is a must-listen.
