For 30 years, she’s been teaching people all over the world the principles of deep listening and pausing through mindfulness practices, restorative and slow-flow yoga. Her message is simple but potent: slowing down, turning inward, and deeply listening to our body and heart is perhaps the most meaningful form of self-care and community-care work we can do. When we are more compassionate and connected with ourselves, we are able to be more compassionate and connected with others and the world around us.
