Her exploration led her to UZAZU, a research-backed approach that uses different poses to support how we feel and process emotions.

Have you ever longed for the days of a red tent? When people could gather and bleed together, set aside other responsibilities, and allow this monthly period (pun intended) of rest?

Today we’re taking an alternative look at productivity and achievement, one that draws lessons from nature rather than the daily grind of the 9 to 5.

We take a meandering path, exploring what it’s like to live with chronic pain, a way to think about body acceptance that has nothing to do with the scale, and why suffering is not a prerequisite for progress.
