45:25

Happy Day, Friend! In this podcast episode I’m talking about the power of immersive experiences with my special guest, Amanda Field, CEO, Founder, and Inventor of the Yoga Triangle. While every day self-care is key to optimal health and well-being, it’s vitally important we carve out time in our calendar to engage in immersive nature experiences as a way to ground and recalibrate the nervous system. When we do this, we open up possibilities of clearer thinking, more emotionally engaged relating, great alignment with our most integrated self, and more robust creative work time. The investment in these experiences have immense dividends in all aspects of our lives. Amanda and I share about our recent immersive experience together along the Texas Gulf Coast at Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula. Amanda Field is a yoga instructor in Houston, TX. After growing frustrated by the limitations of rectangular yoga blocks, she started experimenting with alternative shapes and angles. Amanda wanted a durable, comfortable yoga block that would help yogis and athletes improve flexibility, balance, and strength. She consulted with doctors, physical therapists, and other yogis to find the perfect angles for the Yoga Triangle. Whether you're running a marathon, healing from an injury, or just determined to do a split in your practice, Yoga Triangle is your upgrade! Amanda is a 500 ERYT with over 20 years of experience. She founded Republic Aerial Yoga in Houston, Texas. She studied with many talented teachers in her career. Outside of her love of movement and functional fitness, she's a brand consultant, a business developer and currently works in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for a Manufacturing startup. She's passionate about her purpose - empowering people, teaching agency, giving back to her community, and innovation.
