For this week's podcast I sat down with the VERY ambitious Laura Butler! She is an award-winning actress, singer, songwriter, and dancer. On top of all that she is an E-RYT 500-hour yoga, meditation, restorative & therapeutics, Ayurveda, yin, and pre-natal yoga teacher and trainer and founder of Bliss Bodies Wellness in Manhattan. She is also a Reiki Master attuned by her teacher, Brett Bevell, of the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, NY, a Level 8 Magical Awakening Practitioner (a Celtic form of energetic healing), and a Marma points practitioner (acupressure).

Laura incorporates fun, joy, creativity, alignment, flowing with the breath, mantra, and support into her classes to challenge her students to reach their full potential and lead balanced and inspirational lives. We had a very fun and casual conversation about life and simple ways to incorporate wellness to live happily.

Things we covered in the podcast:

-Introduction of Laura and her extensive career.

-How important music is to our health and wellness.

-The value of humming or singing. 

-The importance of daily rituals to drop into the parasympathetic nervous system.

-A yoga pose to help with sleep.
