Mindful Movement, Burnout & Coming Home to Your Body with Brigette Robitaille
I sat down with Bridget Robitaille, a Stott Pilates instructor trainer since 2009, with a background in psychology, massage therapy, breathwork, and meditation. Bridget is the founder of Inspire Movement, and honestly, every time I'm in her energy I just feel calmer. I wanted to bottle that up and share it with all of you.
