"I love the woman that I’m becoming... I'm in a place now where I celebrate everything that makes me unique… Whatever God is doing with me and yoga is really good." - Kim

Episode 4 features Kim, a yoga teacher and an ordained minister. Her story and interview will touch on how yoga and religion have helped her in her recovery from bulimia, eating disorders in the black community, and how when one person is brave enough to shine their light by sharing their truth, it has the potential to inspire other people to do the same.
