How to breathe better and why it matters with Karese Laguerre
There's a good chance you're not breathing effectively, which may be impacting your health, according to Karese Laguerre, the author of Accomplished: How to Sleep Better, Eliminate Burnout, and Execute Goals.

Karese, like many parents, suffered in silence while her children struggled with the symptoms of undiagnosed sleep and breathing issues. One visit to a pediatric dentist changed the trajectory of their lives. Already a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH), Karese, trained with Sandra Holtzman, Lois Laynee, and Sarah Hornsby to establish her orofacial myology knowledge. With this initial training and numerous others, in a few short years, she has not only resolved all her children's issues but helped hundreds of patients, children and adults alike, discover how great life can be fully functioning. Her private practice, The Myo Spot, is now a leader in the quest for myofunctional therapy awareness and public education. 

She joins Dr. Shields on SoundfBalming to talk about how to sleep better, eliminate Burnout, and execute goals. Karese's mission is to transform and positively impact as many households as possible through dynamic breath, brain, and bodywork.

Americans got their first big exposure to the Shaolin monks with the 1970s TV series Kung Fu starring David Carradine. In the intro, we see him as a young monk completing a rite of passage ceremony where he had to lift and move a heavy cauldron filled with glowing cinders, and in doing so his arms were branded with a dragon and a tiger. For all his quiet wisdom and serenity, this monk had fighting skills that were unsurpassed. It was a combination that was deeply attractive to Western audiences of the seventies obsessed with the superiority of Eastern enlightenment over Western materialism.

Oluwafemi Oladeji shares his personal  journey from being an actor, singer, model, yoga teacher, to becoming a Shaolin Monk, and how it has shaped in personal and professional life.

Teaching is an all-consuming career often characterized as emotional labor. It’s physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. It’s also a job that’s almost impossible to “leave at work,” whether in the form of a stack of papers to grade or persistent thoughts about how to help a struggling student. Practicing self-care, for teachers, is both vital and challenging.

Dr. Gwen shares some essential practices to help teachers  avoid chronic stress, burnout, and limited productivity.
