Changing your Path and The Healing Power of Yoga with Gwen Versteegh

Today I sit down and talk with Gwen Versteegh, former killer whale trainer turned Yoga teacher. She explains how her dream was taken from her and she found herself on a path she never imagined, but how yoga taught her to accept her new life and make the best of it:
 
Zest for Life is a Yoga program designed to help you lower your stress every day and enjoy your life to the fullest. Through the program, I follow strong and courageous people stressed out by their job, to guide them with Yoga session, in order for them to be able to find more balance. You don't have to hate your job to be stressed out. In fact, I believe that passionate people in love with their job will find it harder to admit they are in stress and need help to gain more clarity and stability in their life.
 
Did you ever told yourself:
I can’t do anything, I am too tired this week
I can’t sleep good
I can’t stop but work is too much
I can’t relax and enjoy my week-end
