Yoga Strategies for Alleviating Anxiety in Gay Men
Anxiety can feel like a constant weight on your shoulders, especially if you're already facing unique challenges as a gay man. The fast pace of life, past experiences, and societal pressures can all contribute to growing anxiety issues. It's a...
Home Restore Sequence
You’ve probably heard me mention over the past couple weeks how important it is that we slow down right now and listen to ourselves. We as a society and as a culture have the mindset of “Go! Go! Go!” often allowing our bodies and minds to fall to the wayside and...
How To Create Video Content To Engage With Your Retreat Audience
It's a great feeling when attendees arrive at your retreat open to receiving training and feeling balanced already. It means that you can transition everyone out of travel limbo into the program without having to spend too much time releasing travel anxiety or...

Meditation was a key player in saving my life…

No time for bull$hit
