In this episode, we’re thrilled to have Samantha Carpino with us to explore the incredible benefits of breath work, yoga, and meditation. We chat about everything from deep belly breaths and alternate nostril breathing to yoga poses that bring harmony to both mind and body. Together, we dive into the fascinating connection between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, showing how yoga and meditation can help us move from stress to calm. We even share some heartwarming stories about how our pets naturally use calming movements! Our conversation also shines a light on the autonomic nervous system's role in our lives, particularly in managing stress-related issues like acne and digestive disorders. Samantha explains different yoga styles such as Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin, and offers practical tips for incorporating these practices into your daily routine for better overall well-being. We also share our own experiences and challenges with various meditation techniques, providing real-life solutions and app recommendations to help you stay centered and present. If you’re looking to reclaim your inner peace and find balance, this episode is a must-listen! Don’t forget to practice deep breathing exercises and maybe try the legs-up-the-wall pose—your future self will thank you.   In this episode, we discuss: Balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic functionsHow the nervous system relates to acneEffective deep breathing techniquesThe benefits of yoga and meditation Show Note Links: Find Samantha Carpino on Instagram | @samantha_carpino  Let's Connect  Apply to work with us in The Clear Skin Solution here.Download The Gut Loving Cheat Sheet here.Follow Katie on Instagram here.   Top of Form Bottom of Form
