This week we dive deep into the power of breathwork for healing and self-discovery with Shannon Cury, a breathwork coach and cancer survivor. Shannon shares her inspiring story of overcoming cancer and using breathwork to navigate the challenges of treatment, job loss, and a global pandemic.

She sheds light on the concept of "authentic self-care" - focusing on self-awareness and building a lifestyle that supports your well-being, rather than relying on external fixes.

Tune in for practical tips to cultivate your own breathwork practice and connect with San Diego's vibrant wellness community.
