Caring for Ourselves While We Care for Others with Hope Hamling and Cassandra Sirl of Abide Yoga

As we head into colder months and a busy holiday season, many advocates tell us the same thing: even when there’s time to relax, actually relaxing feels impossible. In this episode, we’re joined by Hope and Cassandra of Abide Yoga, two yoga and mindfulness instructors. Together, we talk about why our bodies stay alert, how rest can look different for each of us, and simple grounding practices that meet you where you are. This conversation offers realistic, accessible support for anyone navigating trauma work and needing a moment to breathe.
