EP 021: How to Establish a Practice of 'Waking up' with Rosie Acosta

Today I have Rosie Acosta on the podcast and we get into the beauty of yoga, stillness and truly honoring our bodies. Each and every day we’re moving around in these amazing vessels that literally guide our human experience and we just often don’t take time to acknowledge how profound and how amazing it is. Rosie lets us in on different yoga practices and breathing techniques that we can use to get balanced whenever we feel untethered.
