Welcome to this mini episode all about Self Love to close out our February podcast lineup. Tune in to hear from founder of Yoga to Cope, Kala MacDonald, as she discusses that "self love" in the least cliché way she can manage. Inspired by a dear friend's latest newsletter and something that happened on a trip she recently took, Kala dives in to what is important, useful, and absolutely not selfish at all when it comes to prioritizing YOU.

Author, podcaster, manual therapist and movement coach Aaron Alexander is back on the Yoga to Cope podcast to celebrate the release of this new book, "The Align Method"!

Aaron first mentioned that he was working on his book in our first podcast episode featuring him in June 2018, and it was recently released in-stores. We were excited to hear about that process of creation, as well as catch up with him in general. Tune in to hear about Aaron's philosophy about gyms, why he takes cold plunges in ice chests (and more importantly why you don't NEED to), and his inspiring, encouraging closing message. Don't forget to connect with Aaron using the links below, and clink the Amazon link to purchase his new book, out now!

A recent article sparked my interest in the question: Do you have an inner monologue? While I do, for the first time ever I realized that there are people who don't have dialogue with themselves in their heads, and instead have to talk aloud for those mirror pep talks. This got me thinking, and podcasting, all about perception vs. reality, how we can be experiencing the same thing, but very differently, and how this can all boil down to finding gentle understating with people who have different perceptions and opinions than our own. I hope you'll enjoy this mini episode, and always you can find us online using the links below!
