Are we limiting our ability to create resiliency in our lives by depending on alcohol when times are stressful?

Lynn, Julie & Beth tackle the topic of Body Image, the fitness & yoga industry and how we can help change the landscape with the words that we say.
Our love isn't directed only to ourselves and other humans. Nature is also deserving of our love for all it provides us.
Whether it's a family member, close friend or adversary, practicing love to everyone is how we can make the world a better place for all.
Love begins with you! You must love yourself before you can love others.
Love extends beyond ourselves, others and nature. All living things are deserving of our unconditional love. There is an unspoken connection between us and our pets that speaks volumes if you are willing to listen.
Lynn, studio owner, & Julie, studio manager, discuss their journeys to alcohol sobriety and how it relates to their yoga practice.
