Moving to Costa Rica sounded like the dream. Beaches. Sunshine. A barefoot, breezy free-spirited life.
But what no one tells you is just how much it will stretch you—mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind our third move in seven months (yes, third). It’s been humbling, heartbreaking, and honestly, one of the most powerful practices of yoga I’ve ever experienced.
Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need a mat to practice yoga.
Sometimes the biggest growth comes when everything feels like it’s falling apart—and you choose to breathe anyway.
If you’ve ever made a big leap and wondered “What the hell did I just do?”—this one’s for you.
✨ Breathwork at the end
✨ Contemplation: What’s the pose life is asking you to stay in?
