Welcome to the Guns and Yoga Podcast, my name is Wendy Hummell and today I talk to Vance Row. Vance and I first met last year at the National FOP Wellness Conference in Nashville, TN. He is a fellow Yogi, so as you can imagine, we became fast friends. Vance is a former police officer and he now works as a police and fire dispatcher. He found the tools of yoga to be very beneficial in his own healing process, which he talks about. So much so, that it inspired him to become a yoga instructor and create his business - Yoga Rescue. Vance shares the tools of yoga with fellow first responders and teaches multiple classes every week, he is in the state of Maryland, so if you're looking for classes taught by somebody who's culturally competent look them up check them out, he's a great instructor, and a really great guy. You will notice and see during the podcast that his enthusiasm for sharing the tools of yoga and mindfulness are infectious. He he walks us through some very difficult times that he's experienced throughout his career, he talks about his struggle with alcohol, as well as issues with leaders that he was working for at his former agency, and about a very difficult conversation when his wife called him out about his drinking. It was is really that conversation that turned him around and inspired him to stop drinking. I think many of us can probably relate to a lot of what Vance talks about in our show today. So, sit back and have a listen, I think you're going to find this episode really valuable.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
