After a nice 6-week summer hiatus, we are back with all new episodes of That's So Maven and the official release of season 5! I've got a stellar line-up of guests for you and couldn't be more excited to be launching this season with one of my all-time favorite humans, Ashley Neese. Ashley is a somatic breathwork healer.... We also met each other a few years ago when I was on one of her retreats. She is kind, compassionate and truly a gift to the world. I'm honored she came on the show to share her story with me. I'm opening the show with a little life update and some changes happening around here and then we're jumping into the good stuff. Enjoy! Today we're chatting about: Ashley's upbringing and her history with addiction Discovering meditation and breathwork in rehab and connecting with her sponsor Breath and the nervous system- why breathing is so important Separating breathwork from yoga and meditation Modernizing breathwork for the 21st century Breathwork for new moms How to be consistent with your breathwork practice ...and so much more! Join The Healthy Maven Tribe to ask guest questions and to find out who will be on the show before anyone else! http://facebook.com/groups/THMTribe Please don't forget to rate + review in iTunes if you love the podcast.
