On episode 41 of Outside The Studio: How Meditation Changes Your Brain with Kelly Smith

I'm so excited to introduce you to Kelly Smith; the host of the podcasts Mindful in Minutes and Meditation Mama and the founder of Yoga For You.

Creating a meditation practice that will actually stick + how meditation changes your brain We all know that we *should* be meditating, but we don't always know where to start, or how to create a simple practice that will fit into our busy and chaotic lives. We also know that meditation feels good, but how is it actually changing your brain composition so it is reducing the anxiety center of the brain and increasing your mental capacity for focus, productivity and happiness?

Kelly's journey to connecting with her true self and soul through yogaTrue self/soul/higher self- whatever you personally call it, we are all trying to access this space and live our most authentic and joyful lives. Kelly started out with a yoga practice that was high-powered, fast and sweaty, perpetually skipping Savasana and then through a harrowing journey with her mother learned to slow down and appreciate the stillness in meditation.

What happens when your teacher, mentor, spiritual leader 'falls from grace'As a yoga school founder and master trainer in meditation, we need to study with teachers and mentors. But these people are human too. What happens when they mess up?
