The episode concludes with a discussion on the continuous learning and growth in Ashtanga yoga and how it can serve as daily therapy for practitioners.

Heather Serna is a Authorized Level 2 Ashtanga Yoga Teacher who is a truth seeker, and is always always l learning, and growing. She always felt like she didn't quite fit in and has spent much of her life seeking deeper meaning. One early experience that stands out was dating someone with an addiction, which sparked her interest in psychology. From there, Heather delved deeper into spirituality, yoga, and travel, continuously seeking to understand herself and the world around her, and because of this she knows her purpose here is to find her true self and to help others do the same. She believes we are all mirrors and through others we reach our true self and she uses these teachings as a way to mirror back to the world
