Be part of the Yin Crowd! All things Yin & Yang in Yoga and in life, with Gabe. Visiting Yogi and Holistic Wellness Expert from Thailand.

This is a jam packed podcast of wellbeing goodness with my guest, International Wellness Expert, Gabe. Yes, just “Gabe”, like Madonna...or Buddha. In this episode, be captivated as Gabe breaks down YIN vs YANG, what they really mean, and how it relates to yoga and life in one of the most entertaining and easy to understand ways you will ever hear. Learn why Yin yoga is anti-aging, restorative and not just beneficial to your physical body but your emotional health as well. Hear delightful and educational anecdotes from the science behind yoga and its effect on our organs and connective tissue, to the alienation we may feel from the photos of unrealistic yoga contortionists bombarding Instagram. "...leave that for Cirque Du Soleil." he jokes. Yoga should be a no-judgement zone...especially when it comes to self-judgement. After listening to this episode you will feel informed and inspired by his words of kindness and inclusion. Reminding us that we are all connected, and what makes us different is what makes us beautiful. If you like this episode, please subscribe/download and help spread the word by sharing it with your friends and on social media. The more light we can get out into the world, the better it will be.

Favorite guest quotes:
