A GRATEFUL LIFE PODCAST with Dr Lauren Tober | July 2025

It was a pleasure to join Dr Lauren Tober on A Grateful Life Podcast. In her words …

“In this heartfelt and insightful conversation, I’m joined by yoga teacher, author, and mindfulness facilitator Anna Taylor (she/her) to explore the deeper layers of yoga, compassion, and the human experience.

Anna shares her personal journey through yoga and mindfulness, the vulnerable process of writing her new book, and how compassion has become a foundational element in both her teaching and life.

Together, we explore the intersection of neuroscience, emotional wellbeing, and spiritual practice - offering practical tools and gentle reminders for anyone navigating the highs and lows of being human.

You’ll hear about:

• The brain’s negativity bias and how it impacts our self-perception

• Why compassion, not just self-improvement, is at the heart of yoga

• What it really means to hold space for others and ourselves

• How to meet difficult days with grace and presence

• The difference between fixing ourselves and truly caring for ourselves

Whether you're a yoga teacher, a mental health professional, or someone seeking more ease and authenticity in your life, this conversation is a balm for the soul.
