"Calm & Wild" Lauren Verona speaks about self love on the Kim Morrison Podcast

Lauren explains to us the history of yoga and how it was the one discipline that saved her from her frantic corporate career and personal and mental health concerns. She shares how yoga taught her to love herself and find her true self. Lauren shares her meaning of self-love comes from one of the 10 guidelines of yoga – ahisma. The practice of ahisma allows everyone to live their own path rather than try to point out or make suggestions. Helping other people is not ahisma. You can hold space, love and support. But more importantly shine your own light and embody self-love. Lauren also discusses the power of discipline which is known as ‘tapas’ in sanskrit and the importance of rituals and to make time every day to flirt with discovering YOU and to trust the journey.
