Free Your Breath and Your Body Follows – ‘Yoga Rebel’ Tara Stiles with Dave Asprey : 814

<p>In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, I’m talking with Tara Stiles, founder of&nbsp;<a href="https://stralayoga.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stråla Yoga</a>, whose approach to yoga and meditation is to make it as inclusive, unpretentious and accessible as possible.&nbsp;</p><p>“I love the saying, if you can breathe, you can do yoga,” Tara says. “And especially if you're interested in doing it, then follow that intuition. Whether you're young or old or somewhere in between, or have a problem or have any limitations or whatever it is.”</p><p>Tara says practicing yoga is about so much more than just the physical poses, but about building up your physical, spiritual and mental energy so you can show up and be present and leave content. That comes from developing fluidity in your life, finding alignment in your internal and external environments, and listening to your body.&nbsp;</p><p>“So, it's really moving slow enough so you can notice what's happening. Allowing your breath to move your body, I think is amazing,” Tara says. “We miss out on all of our potential and how easily we can move when we ignore our breath-body connection, as well.”</p><p>The mind-body connection is what allows her to truly tune in, and she encourages everyone she teaches to find that oneness of their own. One of her tips? Get down on the ground. Even a brief few minutes moving from your chair to the floor, practicing some short cat-cow exercises to get movement circulating through your body, or just deep breathing practice, are great ways to take a break and listen to what parts of you might need a little more attention.&nbsp;</p><p>In her new book,&nbsp;<strong>“</strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Mind-Body-Spiritual-Realignment/dp/0062947311/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Clean Mind, Clean Body: A 28-Day Plan for Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Self-Care</a><strong>,”&nbsp;</strong>Tara shows how you can integrate well-being into ever
