In this episode, we reflect on the aftermath of the Muskoka Yoga Retreat this past weekend and what happens when we come together in person and allow ourselves to be fully present—to practice, to grief, to vulnerability, and to one another. We explore moving beyond the conditioning of the mind, meeting our inner critic with kindness, and cultivating the courage to live with an open and reverent heart.
