225 - Living Softly in a Harsh World: Fi...

Michelle Maros & Barb Schmidt
About this episode

What if the secret to wellness isn’t pushing harder — but softening into ease?

This week on Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we welcome the incredible Tara Stiles, founder of Strala Yoga, for a transformative conversation on redefining wellness. Together, we explore how movement, softness, and presence can heal both mind and body — and why breaking free from rigid rules is the key to harmony.

💬 Tara shares her journey from anger to action — transforming yoga into an accessible, welcoming practice for all.

💬 Barb & Michelle reflect on their own struggles with the wellness world and how Tara’s approach helped them reconnect with themselves.

Episode Highlights:

  • Your practice is YOURS: Forget the rules — wellness is personal.
  • Living softly in a harsh world: Release tension, stress, and impatience by choosing ease.
  • Letting anger guide you: Rage can illuminate the path to your greatest passion.
  • The body-mind connection: Peace begins when we listen to our bodies and our feelings.

💫 As a special gift, Tara is offering listeners 50% off the Strala Yoga app — making it easy to bring mindfulness and movement into your daily life. Use code LIFEHAPPENS at StralaHome.com.
