My Heart 11/08/2024

My Heart In this episode of My Heart, we explore the deep connection between our hearts and the spaces that inspire us. Hosted by the creator of a beloved local yoga studio in central Kentucky, this episode reflects on how music, memories, and meaningful places can resonate with us in profound ways. Using the song "Oh My Heart" by REM as a backdrop, the host shares personal insights on the powerful sense of belonging they’ve found in their yoga community—showing how a physical space can become a metaphor for emotional fulfillment and connection. The episode concludes with a heart-centered meditation, guiding listeners through a calming practice to connect with their own heart space. Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this episode invites you to take a moment, breathe deeply, and cultivate gratitude for the places and people that touch your heart. Find peace, inspiration, and connection in My Heart. /episode/index/show/nowbycreativeyoga/id/33852612
