Welcome back to my natural wellness podcast. A holistic perspective on health and wellness. I am joined today by a very special guest and dear friend of mine, Xaylene, and I'm so excited to have her on the podcast. Lots of reasons why what she particularly does for herself, her family, the world is so important. But I'm gonna start by just saying hello.

Hi, Michelle. Thank you so much. I'm so honored to be on your podcast.

I'm honored to have you too. So I talk a lot, or you've heard me talk a lot if you've been on my website or on the podcast about health, about wellness, and mostly you've heard me talk about food. On my last podcast, we talked a little bit about mindset and I want dig into that a little deeper on this podcast, which is why I have invited Xaylene to join us. She's a guide for mindfulness through meditation and yoga as well. And she has guided me through many meditations since we've known each other and many yoga classes. And so tell us a little bit about yourself and yeah. About what you do about how you feel about all of that.

Yeah. So like you said, I'm into a lot of different things. It took me a little while to kind of be okay with that, but actually one of the things that I do called human design helped me embrace that I am multifaceted, that I love to do different things and I can be successful, lots of different things. And so I've been really embracing that for the last couple years. But yoga, I feel was really the start of it all. When I was introduced to yoga, I just fell in love and the breath was what I felt had the biggest impact on my life and not realizing I would breathe shallow a lot and that there was no intentional breathing. And I didn't realize that that was missing until I started to do it. Once I started doing intentional breathing in with my yoga practice, I realized how much more calm I was, how much more clarity I had in my mind find then going deeper into very intentional, not just breathing with your movements through yoga, but very intentional breathing, finding different techniques and little by little going deeper into that.

But I do believe that it's just so integral for the, the way we live our lives to have some kind of practice where we're moving the body in whichever way feels best for you. Of course, I'm a little biased. I think yoga is the best way I just feel like it's encompassing everyone. It's accessible to everyone. It doesn't matter, you know?

Working with the breath and the movement starts to introduce you, to breathing, breathing appropriately breathing in a way that's highly beneficial. Not just to reset and to feel clear of mind, but it's just good for our body. You, you know, this very well of what it actually does to our body, to ourselves, to our brain, the, that our body functions. Right. I've done it more. So you have more of the knowledge on it where I've done it more through experience. Like the way I feel is I, I have to share it with everyone. I just feel amazing from doing all of these things from myself first.

Yes. It's so helpful for mental health, right? It's so helpful for relaxation because we're in this stress high paced world. But from, from the holistic perspective on your health, you know, we walk around with, our mind and our body feeling very separate and breathwork and yoga and meditation, they take these things and they put them together and say, you're not separate for, from your body. And so
