As your inhales and exhales match up, you may be surprised how grounded you feel afterward. Tune in to begin.

needed this today ♥️ thank you
tack 🙏💗
This is something that holds me back. Fear of approaching new people for work opportunities. But it's not a feeling I enjoy sitting with. So thanks for allowing me to sit with this today. I'll definitely be journalling today around this feeling. X
Thank you. I need to let go of the nerves regarding my first family reunion after both of my parents passed away last year. I have been using yoga to help me move through the grief. I cant wait to hug you, Rachael, when you come to Austin Tx for the book tour. Hopefully you will hold a yoga class while in Austin.
Love it!! What a great way to start the day with mindy, heart and body♥️ Thankyou Yoga girl.🙏🏻 Want to ask If its possible to litsen earlyer in the morning? The episode comes a little late in the morning in sweden.
With the school coming back next month, this is exactly what I needed!
So excited! 🧡🙏🏻
