Cozy Stories For Cold Days

Wellness Loud
About this episode

Our stories today take us out to the big house on the edge of town where a bench is waiting in a sunny spot to help you recharge your battery in The Solarium, then to a snug apartment with big windows that look all the way out to the park where the kettle is just about to boil in Cold Snap and Crosswords. Finally we’ll sit in the quiet of the yoga room for a bit, noticing the sounds of the present in Breathe in, Breathe out.
