6. Meditation & Morning Rituals with Lilly Balch

In this episode, we're talking about the importance of meditation and morning rituals with someone who knows the benefits all too well, Lilly Balch.

Lilly is a Brooklyn-based creative, therapeutic yoga instructor, meditation teacher & creator/host of The Morning Ritual Podcast.  Her podcast offers free, quick and timely meditations perfect for starting your day and they're often what Leslie uses to begin her morning practices.

In this episode we talk about the benefits of morning rituals, using meditation to combat anxiety, how Lilly started a podcast during a pandemic and offer some inspiration to help you get started meditating.

Lilly seeks to support your sense of presence, internal strength, and inner peace through a balanced combination of movement and stillness. In order to bring a greater body, mind, and spirit awareness to her art (having been a dancer her whole life) Lilly delved into the practice of yoga ten years ago. Lilly completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2013 and has been teaching both private clients and group classes ever since. She is currently training to become an 850-hour IAYT Yoga Therapist under Dana Slamp at Prema Yoga Institute. She brings a mindful, positive, and bright energy to her teaching.  You can find her work at www.lillybalchyoga.com.
