Listen Deeply to Your Heart | Mars
We’re here for these beautiful experiences, whether they’re good or bad. It’s what we learn from them and this process we’re going through…and to just enjoy the journey exactly how it is.” – Mars
BONUS CONTENT: This week we have shared two guided meditations by Mars. The first is 20-minute yoga nidra (sleep) meditation to slow down and ease into a restful state. Or for a quicker reboot, you can try her 6-minute grounding flow meditation.
Listen Deeply to Your Heart
This week we take a moment out to go a little easier on ourselves. We’ll be helped by Mars: a yoga teacher, massage therapist and founder of Mars Yoga and Wellness. Mars grew up in a small town, two hours from one of the most remote cities on earth. Her childhood dream to explore the world led her to the other side of the globe, working in London’s high-intensity finance sector.
Living by the “work hard, play hard” rule, Mars was on the path to the top. Then, out of the blue, she was confronted with a situation that would sideline her carefully mapped out life plan. Unsure what to do next, Mars turned inside for guidance—to her long-neglected inner voice—and found an answer that would change the course of her life.
In this conversation, we talk about what to do when unexpected obstacles come your way, how tuning in to your deep inner voice can lead to a renewed sense of self, and what yoga taught Mars about dealing with uncertainty.
