David Bedrick | Insatiable hunger and the wisdom held within it
David Bedrick is a psychologist, speaker, teacher, and attorney, and author, but that does not sum up the heart of David and his work. He is a deeply gentle, thoughtful, and compassionate human being who shares an insatiable curiosity to both understanding human beings and advocating for those who are oppressed. Together we share stories, deep questions, and a loving look a the world of body shame,  and the expansive world of diet and body obsession masquerading as wellness. He has written a beautiful book of women's stories through the lens of a compassionate witness. Not only are the stories he shares relatable, but they also hold the wisdom of looking into our own hunger to find the answer to what it is we really crave. I have worked diligently to lean away from conversations on body, diet, and weight-loss because I do not want to give more energy to what has consumed so many of us. However, this conversation is different, it is deeper, more radical, and an invitation to look beneath the story for your own body's innate wisdom.https://www.davidbedrick.comhttps://www.facebook.com/david.bedrick.9Pre-order his book "You Can't Judge A Body By Its Cover" at your favorite bookseller.

Ros Isabel | Finding your groove with human design
Did you love taking quizzes in teen magazines when you were a kid? I always wanted to know more about myself, what made me tick, what was in store for me.  Ros is an expert in human design, a system that offers in her words" the most incredible and accurate interpretation of personality and life calling." Admittedly, I was impressed with my own human design map and its accuracy.  This system and the way it was created is pretty fascinating, a bit trippy and totally worth a listen. Perhaps it will speak to you! Find Ros Isabel: https://findyournaturalgroove.com/

Lindsay Madison | Turning trauma into power and the reclamation of self
Lindsay's heart is in sharing her life story in order to help others see that they are not alone. She is the byproduct of young lovers who never belonged together. Her father, a born again Christian who traded heroin for Jesus. Her parents traded her back and forth her entire life and she often felt like a pawn. She was gaslit, abused,  and suffered a myriad of challenges because of it. She has learned to lean in, to forgive and also to create a chosen family of friends. We talk about the current world and how triggering 2020 has been for so many who have a shared history of abuse, trauma, bullying and gaslighting. Marble Jar Friends reference: https://www.catherinebruns.com/who-do-you-trust-marble-jars-and-empathy/

Lauren Laudani | You are not the worst thing you've done. Begin Again.
Lauren's tattoos tell you her story over the last 3+ years. Her first tattoo ever has the words "begin again" and the date her life changed forever. Have you ever struggled to remember that you are more than your mistakes, you are more than the things that have happened to you, you are more than your upbringing? Lauren's story is vulnerable, brave and so relatable. We have all waited too long to make a change, we have all sat idly by when the Universe was offering us lifeboat after lifeboat. We have all avoided change only to find ourselves in a swift kick in the pants that forced to leap into the next chapter of our lives. Lauren tells the story of why she was had no choice but to completely reinvent herself, reckon with shame and step boldly into a life she didn't recognize only to be lead gently back to her true self. She's had one hell of a journey these last few years and is now ready to shine light into the darker corners of her life. Please listen with an open and receptive heart. May we truly learn to meet one another with love, compassion and understanding. May we hold one another up and help each other when we are down. Join Lauren and I in Costa Rica May 9-16th: https://www.citizenyogastudio.com/costa-rica-retreat-2020/Follow Lauren on IG: https://www.instagram.com/laurenlivinyoga/Check her schedule out at www.citizenyogastudio.com

Get the F out of your head | Ann Fancy
This is something that has been heavy on my heart and mind over the last year. After decades of being completely disconnected from my body, I have realized the profound impact yoga has had on me. I spent my childhood & young adulthood struggling with severe anxiety and depression. I spent decades at war with my body, dieting, bingeing, loathing and obsessing over my form. I am certain I own every diet book, and self help book about food, body, emotional eating and the likes. Why does this matter? Because for one reason or another almost everyone I know is struggling to live in their human form. We all have come at this issue for a thousand different reasons, perhaps it's simply the culture of disconnect, it could be trauma, or ancestry, or any other multitudes of reasons. But we I know for sure, is that we MUST learn how to integrate in order to live out more meaningful, connected, purposeful and impactful lives. We as the collective must learn how to get out of our heads and into our bodies so we can reclaim our power and change this world. It is imperative that we do both. XO, Ann
