About this episode

{6:45} Shruti’s first experience on a yoga retreat and how it lead to her retreat career

{10:00} The relationship between slowing down and digesting life

{12:45} How Charlene found sound healing and the power of sound

{15:50} How to use your voice to move energy and heal 

{22:50} How Shruti found clarity and strength using mantra 

{27:00} Shruti’s silent retreat experience
