Resources from this episode:
Initially a registered nurse, Dr. Anita Schill earned her doctorate degree from The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health (now the Bloomberg School of Public Health). While her career has chiefly focused on the safety, health, and well-being of workers, her passion for yoga soon emerged. She is a registered yoga teacher at the 500-hour level (RYT 500) and certified as a yoga therapist by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT). Dr. Schill’s personal commitment to energy medicine inspired her to pursue her passion for the health and well-being of individuals and establish her private practice, Bliss Zone Energy Medicine, LLC.
