Which can lead to all kinds of serious health problems, ranging from depression and anxiety to diabetes and cancer. So yes…

There's a question that comes up almost always around week two of our 200+Hour Ready-to-Lead Training: "All this de-stressing and finding ease in my life is so wonderful. Do I need anything else for my health, for my everything, aside from yoga and tai chi? Should I drop running, quit the gym, and change my job?" If your instinct is you'd rather not give up everything you love, it would be nice to improve not abandon your work, and life is really a bit bigger than just studying yoga . . . then your instinct is probably right.
