One Idea Away Podcast

In the face of struggle, how do you respond? Do you reach for a helping hand or learn the lesson by going solo? In the end, do you ever feel changed by your challenge? Faith Hunter, D.C. and New York City-based yoga and meditation instructor, breaks down the unbelievable power that lies within your adversity, your past, and everything in between. Faith’s a global traveler, a life stylist sprinkled with a dash of Louisiana charm, and creator of Spiritually Fly. She began her lifelong love affair with yoga in the early 90s as a way to cope while her beloved brother Michael was dying from a health complication related to AIDS. Through meditation, Faith was able to acknowledge and release her fears and experience an awakening within. From that moment on she was committed to sharing these practices with the world. Faith also owns Embrace Yoga D.C., a yoga training and community center that’s located in Adams Morgan, a multicultural nest of Washington D.C. It’s up to you to be courageous enough to stop, breathe, and step forward more consciously—your journey starts now! Key takeaways: The truth behind the pose.
