Chelsea StueveGuestSara Kaufman-BradstreetHostSo transitioning from sound baths a little bit, we talked a little bit about in your previous episode about learning how to sit in the quiet without alcohol.
Do you think practices like yoga and meditation, do they help teach you how to be uncomfortable without immediately needing to escape or change how you feel? I feel like that's such a skill.
We were just talking about this on Daymakers, like Sometimes you got to learn how to sit and still be still.
The second I experienced any discomfort or even anticipated discomfort, it was like, nope, I'm checking out.
everyone it's different, but for me, yoga was really instrumental in getting to practice that.
I think especially at the right sort of studio, I know some places yoga is more of a hit workout, but the studio that I found really practices that.
And there's a lot of talk in yoga about acknowledging discomfort and just breathing through it because it's going to end.
And you build up tolerance over time, not to say there's still poses that I'm in that I'm Like, oh, gosh, when is this going to end? My hip hurts.
But I know it's going to be just a few breaths and then I'll be on to the next thing and I can handle it.
And not in the sense that obviously never force yourself through something if you're physically injured, physically injure yourself.
There's a lot of practice in discomfort because I think yoga acknowledges that discomfort's just part of being a human being.
