When it comes to being vulnerable, many of us remain guarded. It's better to appear strong than to admit our weaknesses in a culture that rewards strength and power. In this episode of the chattabox, educator, and yogi, Melissa Barasona (@bar.asana) shares her journey of embracing the power of vulnerability and the beauty that can be found in being the lotus that grew out of the mud. Many of us are often caught up in the narratives that swirl in our minds and we conform to the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Melissa shares how yoga and breathwork have helped her not only create space to identify her pattern of thinking but find peace within. Together, we share stories of moments in our lives that helped us redefine who we were and how our darkest moments showed us not only how to be more empathetic but more loving for ourselves and others.
