Laurie Ellis-Young and Nancy Chakrin will be our second guest today. Laurie is a pioneer in breathwork as an empowering and healing modality.  Nancy is an award-winning photographer, graphic designer and landscape painter. Together they published the book, "FRIENDSHIP The Art of the Practice," which includes inspirational friendship quotes and photographs of women ages (10-100) doing partner yoga poses in spectacular nature settings around the globe. I think you will find this to be a very informative conversation on the power of breath.  Laurie will even take us through a breathing exercise you can do anywhere any time.
