In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, we are thrilled to welcome Ann Swanson, certified yoga therapist and best-selling author of Meditation for the Real World: Finding Peace in Everyday Life. Ann brings a wealth of knowledge on how mindfulness and meditation can fit seamlessly into our busy lives, regardless of background or experience. With over 75 simple yet effective meditation techniques, Ann shares practical ways to de-stress, boost mental and physical health, and reclaim peace in today’s hectic world. Tune in as we explore her science-backed approach to meditation, how it’s accessible for everyone—even those with restless minds or busy schedules—and discover the profound benefits of incorporating mindfulness into everyday moments. Whether you’re new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation offers valuable insights that will help you reconnect with yourself and find calm amidst life’s chaos.  Ann Swanson teaches meditation to busy people with busy minds. She is the author of the bestselling book SCIENCE OF YOGA, which has been translated into over 15 languages. Her new book, Meditation for the Real World, illuminates the fascinating science behind meditation with step-by-step practices to find peace in everyday life. However, Ann wasn’t a naturally “chill person,” and meditation didn’t come easy to her. Overcoming chronic pain and anxiety led her to India to study yoga, to China to explore tai chi, and, ultimately, to earn a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy. Now, Ann blends cutting-edge research with ancient wisdom, resulting in realistic techniques you’ll find yourself integrating into your day!
