I've hit you with a BONUS episode of Sober Yoga Girl Podcast!

I had to tell you the story of Los Angeles - what happened and how I stayed calm.

If you saw on Instagram... I was in an airport delay after the Mexico Yoga Retreat which made me miss a flight to Australia. But what happened next really tested my spirituality and required me to stand in my spirituality.

In this episode I want to share with you what happened, and three practices that you can use anywhere, at any time, to stay calm in moments of anxiety.

My next 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training starts online on July 9. If you want to really go deep into these tools with me...join us!
