Listen Later

 

Rachel Krentzman who is a practicing yoga and physical therapist and certified Hakomi psychotherapist and the author of her new book is As Is: A Memoir on Healing the Past Through Yoga joins eHealth Radio and the Emotional Health & Health News Channels.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Rachel Krentzman discuss the following

  1. Your book opens with the arrest of your father—a deeply traumatic event. What made you decide that now was the time to tell this story?
  2. You write that deep, binding beliefs are held in the littlest stories of our lives.
  3. Can you share an example from your own journey where a small moment revealed a much deeper truth? • Yoga plays a major role in your healing process. How did your physical practice evolve into a tool for emotional and spiritual transformation?
  4. You grew up in a strict Orthodox Jewish community and eventually walked away from it. What were the pivotal moments that led you to leave, and how did that affect your identity?
  5. The book is called As Is—a powerful title. Why did you choose it, and what does it mean to you now after writing the memoir?
  6. What do you hope readers—especially women navigating their own healing—take away from your story? 

    7. Rachel Krentzman PT, C-IAYT, MBA is a practicing yoga and physical therapist and certified Hakomi psychotherapist.
