Mindful Living: Finding Balance in a Chaotic World with Coach Aruni

“Compassion is a profound doorway - especially now with all the shifting and whirling around us. Can we give ourselves permission to be human, permission to try, permission to practice, permission to do our best?”

In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, host Donna Ferris sits down with Coach Aruni Funtaransky, a mindfulness coach, writer, and senior faculty member at the renowned Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. With over five decades of experience, Coach Aruni shares her deep insights on living yoga off the mat, the power of compassion and gratitude, and the importance of embracing life's obstacles as opportunities for growth. They explore the parallels between 12-step principles and yoga, discuss the challenges of slowing down, and highlight the transformative power of humor in healing.
