This week Alex has a conversation with Shani Bella. A breath work specialist and expert in the feminine energy. Shani talks about her own journey that has lead her from a high masculine energy life, to one where she feels her true self. If this is something you know very little about, this is a great episode to get more of an idea why energy is so important and how embracing our true self really can change your life. Shani is hosting one of the Guest Speaker talks at the Norwich Yoga Festival, on Breath work and then holding a women's circle in the Zen Tent.
