My childhood friend Rachel Sat Siri Dougherty joins me in this inspiring conversation about living life with Grace. We talk about how the magical tools of yoga have led Sat Siri to truly step into a place a grace. Through her ability to beautifully hold space, she has transformed her life into a practice that supports others on their healing journey.

In this episode we talk about:

·  Her breakup/divorce and parenting her daughter solo during Covid.

·  Conscious parenting and re-parenting the Self. How doing our own work teaches our children to live in wholeness.

·  Allowing yourself to feel. How the tools of yoga are not designed to bury feelings, but to do the opposite, to feel our feelings so we can work through them to show up and deal with grief, crisis, loss and other pain life throws at us.

·  Learning to hold space for her students. As a yoga teacher - The path of service taught Sat Siri how to show up for herself, her daughter and her students and truly developed into a path of devotion allowing others to come home to themselves.

·  Learning to sit with our sadness, anger and fear.

·  Spiritual bypassing – living in light and love isn’t living our truth. Using our naval gets us in touch with our truth so we can stand in our power.
