This week Tess & Sarah talk to Dominique Gauther, personal trainer, expert yoga teacher, pelvic floor specialist and one of Tess’ own teachers and colleagues. Throughout this episode with Dominique the themes of slowing down and enjoying the flow of life, whatever it brings, can be a great way to connect with and increase our happiness.
Main points about what we discussed in this episode:
Finding flow in life and exploring in the present moment
Explore what brings you joy and what you do for fun
The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again by Catherine Price, a book Dominique mentions
Give trying something new time, practice and exploration
Meet yourself where you’re at and take the small steps
We hold our stress in the body and this affects the way the body functions
Talking through things with external support, like therapists, can be a good way to get everything we’re holding
“Fuck Politeness” quote Dominique shares come from the true crime podcast, My Favorite Murder
