Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we’re talking about the mind-body-soul connection with our guest, yoga teacher and co-owner of Triad Yoga, Terry Brown! Together, we’re exploring how mindfulness and self-awareness can help us transcend limiting beliefs, elevate our consciousness, and allow us to step into a deeper relationship with ourselves -  and with others. How can we be present with ourselves when the dating anxiety and old patterns take over? How can we be with ourselves, our thoughts, feelings, and emotions, when this experience is really uncomfortable and all we want to do is run? In a dating landscape that constantly pulls us in different directions, learning to trust ourselves, heal, and grow requires more than just good intentions—it’s a practice. But don’t worry, we got you. We’ll also talk a bit about yoga and what yoga is truly about, cuz I am a yoga teacher, too! So, if you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward in dating or in life, this episode is here to remind you:  the answers you seek have been within you all along.

How might we blend all of these topics together, you may ask? Great question, but this is Flirtations and we work magic over here! We’re going to be looking at how we often dress for them, ya know, people, or at least wonder what they’re thinking about how I look? We might become hyper-focused on what someone thinks and even though it very human to do so, how might we change that?
