QUOTES

‘We’re hungry for a human-ness, and that comes through in the roughness of the recording... Maybe there’s something real about it how we show up on camera!’

‘Yoga became a place to figure out how to love myself a little bit more.’

‘Kicking up into a handstand is a little bit like going on a first date... You don’t know what’s on the other side of it!’

‘The ultimate flexibility is letting ourselves be beginners again.’
