In this episode of The Align Podcast, we talk all about how to create a healthier lifestyle through movement. We discuss how you can start to change the way you breathe, how to regulate your nervous system and how to improve your cognitive function. Kelly and Juliet also share how they keep their communication healthy and how relationships significantly affect our physiology. We also touch upon the importance of sitting on the floor, how transformative walking can be, and how we can create a community through movement.
