I was recently interviewed along with other experts for a First for Women article about the mind-body connection, how we store our emotions in the body and how it could manifest as hip pain or discomfort. In the article, I share some of my favorite poses to relieve pain in the hips and release these emotions.

Tight muscles are messengers about where we’re storing stress. Stretching with intentional breath awareness reduces physical as well as emotional symptoms of stored tension or pain.

In this short clip, Kerri-Lee Mayland and I discuss my journey back to health, after a 12 year battle with depression, anxiety and a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder. Yoga was among the tools I used to reclaim my personal power and realize that my health was in MY hands – no one else’s.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE YOGA FOOTAGE IN THIS VIDEO:
The yoga shown in this video is stock footage from NBC and NOT representative of the yoga that I teach. What I do is NOT “exercise” yoga. It doesn’t take place in a heated room, in a group class setting and is not strenuous, as depicted in the stock footage here.

I was honored to be featured on NBC Connecticut’s popular show CT Live! with Taylor Kinzler and Jimmy Marlow, discussing the benefits of therapeutic yoga and how my practices are so instrumental in living with and finding relief from chronic illness.

In this short clip, Fox CT’s Sarah Cody and I discuss how I used yoga and meditation (among other tools) to reclaim my health after a 12 year battle with depression, anxiety and a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder.
