Take Creative Measures Podcast

In this episode I'm having a conversation with Kat and Jeff Grant, the husband and wife team behind Total Shift Yoga and Soundbath.

I'll start by stating the obvious...it has been a rough year for everyone. The stress and uncertainty of the pandemic has taken a toll on us professionally, physically, and mentally. It's at times like these when we tend to neglect our own wellness and self-care, yet this is exactly when we need to be doubling down on taking care of ourselves. That's where Total Shift Yoga and Soundbath can help!

Kat, Jeff, and I talk about their journeys as musicians and entrepreneurs and how Kat got into yoga. And, if you're thinking right now, "What exactly is a soundbath, anyway?" Jeff has an answer for you!
