286 | Go Find Your Group
While we’re all more isolated by necessity, there are so many benefits to finding a group for self-improvement. It’s more important than ever to break out of our shells.When we’re by ourselves, we can grow unaware of our bad habits because they become automatic, but once we’ve put ourselves in a group where those bad habits are not accepted, or the good habits we aren’t doing for ourselves are the norm, it puts us in stark contrast and motivates us to make changes.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: lytyoga.comResources:Instagram: @lara.heimannRedefining Yoga is a production of Crate Media Hosted on Acast.

283 | Know Your Wiring
We are all wired a certain way, and it is so important to know who we are at our essence.That doesn’t mean we can’t rewire ourselves and shift some things, but we have some circuitry that’s pre-programmed into our nature and it’s important to recognize and celebrate that. Because when we try to be someone who we are not, it can be exhausting — and it usually ends in headaches or tears. Know yourself, embrace yourself, and lean into it.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: lytyoga.comResources:Instagram: @lara.heimannRedefining Yoga is a production of Crate Media Hosted on Acast.
