Ep148. Finding calm amidst the (climate) chaos, with yoga expert Lara Heimann

Join us for a chat and a rant about burning issues this week, including the UK-wide protests at the World Snooker Championships in Sheffield, the Grand National at Aintree and Extinction Rebellion's The Big One in London this weekend. With only SEVEN YEARS left to make huge changes, it's no wonder we all have eco anxiety.But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! We discuss how a new discovery could mean mushrooms can help us rid the planet of plastic waste and then in part two, the zen-like Lara Heimann (founder of the LYT yoga method) joins us to explain how we can use yoga concepts and techniques to be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.  We cover why more yogis aren’t vegan, what Lara eats on an average day, how we can meet people where they are to avoid turning people off veganism and the importance of our core – not just as a set of muscles but as the core of ourselves and our values.NOTESRead more about why the next seven years are so important at Climate ClockLara recommends Orgain protein powder  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
