To learn more about OWL Venice and the 4, 6, or 8 day reset: https://www.owlvenice.com/

The OWL Reset - Organic Cleanse Program is inspired by Ayurveda & Chronobiology, and designed to heal the gut. The program consists of three bone broths and three nutrient dense hemp mylkshakes. Our cleanse program is made-to-order and packed with ingredients that restore and repair the gut wall, increase digestive fire, reduce inflammation, and draw toxins and heavy metals from the body. The reset experience is nourishing rather than depleting, acts as an effective reset or as the kickstart to an elimination diet.

Today on the podcast we have the incredible Alicia "Ace" Easter! Ace is a yoga teacher and practitioner who shares her passion for yoga, healing, and mindfulness with her community and the world! 

Ace's journey began in the summer of 2006 while on a work assignment in Chicago, IL. After only a few heated yoga classes, Ace noticed the profound effect yoga had on her personal growth and knew she wanted to share its effects with the world. It took her some time to make the leap to become certified, but once she completed her 200-hour teacher training, there was no turning back. She is certified, through Yoga Alliance, to teach heated and non-heated Power and Yin Yoga.

On this episode we get deep as we discuss her personal journey and discuss the transformative power of yoga and how it truly changed her own life! We also discuss the value of community, the importance of finding your own personal freedom, and truly owning your happiness! This is an episode that is sure to bring all the inspiration!

Today on the podcast we have the perfect episode to raise your vibrations as we sit down with the courageous and inspiring Samara Zelniker of Mindfulness Matters!

On this episode we dive deep and discuss what it really means to be “mindful." Samara explains that mindfulness is the "space between" your thoughts and emotions, providing you with the ability to respond versus react to challenging situations. It allows you to slow down and listen to your inner voice and reminds you that all of the answers are already inside. Samara powerfully shares her own story and discusses how she coaches clients to find their own mindful practice.

In addition we discuss leaning in to uncomfortable times, taking the good with the bad, and how to truly harness and use your own intuition!

Samara also hosts the most incredible retreats (which we discuss on this episode) and up next is her SPACE 1 Day Wellness Retreat in Los Angeles on March 24th.
