As a member of the executive board for the Michigan Yoga Club, Sophie provides insight into getting started with a regular yoga practice, no matter how much experience you may have. Nikoo is a certified yoga instructor and discusses the impact yoga has had on her, as well as leads us in a breathing practice from If you find yourself in distress or need immediate help call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255, or text HOME to 741-741 to talk to someone at the Crisis Text Line.
