That marathon story still shocks me, that she thought she could run without training.
Anyway, I will say that since our recording my husband has been taking her yoga classes twice a week and did her breath work workshop. He was having some anxiety and rapid heart rate and her classes and workshop has done wonders for him. He said he has learned SO MUCH about himself since starting to learn how to breath better. So….if you haven’t started following yet, check out her studio & join a class.
