Episode 9
In this episode of the Calm Cockpit podcast, we sit down with Sarah Gilbert, a licensed Yoga for All Abilities® practitioner and experienced yoga teacher, who opens up about her personal journey of overcoming severe anxiety.
We explore how pilots can recognize early signs of anxiety before it impacts performance, discuss when and how to seek community support, and learn a simple, scientifically supported breathing exercise that can help reduce anxiety in moments of stress. Whether you’re a pilot, aviation professional, or simply someone interested in managing anxiety, this episode offers both inspiration and actionable strategies to bring more calm into your cockpit and your life.
