What if stress isn’t the enemy… but your greatest untapped resource?
In this energizing and enlightening episode of Healing Beyond Your Diagnosis, Dr. Jason West welcomes yoga instructor, endurance athlete, and transformation mentor Shauna to explore the powerful relationship between movement, mindset, and healing.
From Shauna’s personal path of overcoming physical setbacks to the ancient wisdom of yoga as a tool for mental and emotional clarity, this conversation goes far deeper than downward dog.
