On this episode I chat with Sarika about the roles of women in the Japanese culture, how she had to prove herself as a female, exploring her love for Sake, creating a sake balm, and exploring the benefits of face yoga! I just love Sarika's tenacity and her lighthearted joyful spirit of bringing joy!
Sarika shares the gift of a guided face yoga practice during this episode to help you bring more ease to your facial muscles, release stress, and add more joy to your spirit!
Enjoy her fun-loving spirit!
Jill
