“Making Tough Decisions with a Compass of Kindness” with Jennifer Prugh

This podcast features Jennifer Prugh who is a business owner, author, creative artist, and community builder.  She shares with us a compass for making business decisions that are conscious and kind, as well as prudent and profitable.  She shares her history from pushing against social constructs to finding yoga, teaching yoga, and inevitably building a business seen as a sanctuary for all who call Breathe Together Yoga their healing space.  We’ll discuss the pivots that were needed in the midst of COVID-19 uncertainty and understand guiding principles, like meditation, that keep kindness and compassion at the forefront of how we show up in this world.
