She shares her journey creating a new fitness program that blends traditional training with mindfulness practices like breathwork, self-reflection, and emotional resilience.Together, Leonie and Kristal dive into the hidden side of the fitness world: how trauma can live in the body, why discipline without self-compassion can backfire, and how moving your body can become a powerful tool for emotional healing. Kristal brings a fresh, deeply honest perspective to what it really means to be “fit” — inside and out.Link to Kristal‘s 30 Day Program: medoga.teachable.com/p/home?affcode=2372851_xhpioie_#MeditationMotel #Fitness #MindBodyConnection #Healing #Mindfulness #Breathwork #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealth #Movement #FitnessCoach #TraumaHealing #Meditation
