Episode 62: Reconnecting With Yourself Through Yoga | Amber Hagberg
“We’re always talking about what it’s like to be in a relationship with other people. But we forget the value of ‘What’s it like to be in a relationship with me?’”
We are constantly busy all day. Our minds are pulled in a million different directions. How many times have you looked at your phone today? Checked your email? Checked all your other notifications?
If you don’t take time to slow down and reconnect with yourself, you’ll wear yourself out physically, mentally, and spiritually. (And if you think you don’t have time, think again.)
My guest Amber Hagberg is a yoga instructor, business coach, and host of the Yoga Off the Mat podcast. In our conversation today, she gives plenty of truths and wisdom about the value of self-care and taking time for you. She brilliantly explains what self-care is and why it’s the key to healing from difficult emotions.
Here’s what Amber talked about in this episode:
(5:26) Amber shares what it’s like living in Costa Rica and how she had to leave her fast-paced American way of life behind
(10:55) “For the first time in my life, a sense of peace.” Amber talks about how yoga transformed her emotional state after the passing of her father

Yoga is Amber’s favorite way to get people to reconnect with themselves, but it’s not the only way. Whether you’re a yoga fanatic or you’ve never tried it, this episode is worth a listen. Doing yoga isn’t about getting every pose to look perfect – it’s about deepening your relationship with yourself.
