#5 – Yoga, Dichotomies & Addiction with Yoga Instructor Shelby Caldwell
The benefits of yoga have been proven extensively in the medical literature. We dive into the science of how yoga works to treat mental health disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular disease and even the cognitive decline that comes with age.
Then, for our very first guest interview we have Shelby Caldwell here to answer all of our yoga questions. She is a certified yoga instructor and currently manages the Ritual Hot Yoga Studio in Chicago. We have an open and honest conversation about addiction and how that can look different for every person, we discuss the dichotomies of life and a new way of looking at ‘good’ and ‘bad’, and finally we get philosophical about the practice of yoga and how it truly invites you to choose to live your fullest life.
