“My youngest son is the one who got me into yoga and meditation about 10 years ago, and I wish I had discovered it much earlier.“
~ Alan Steelman, Former US Congressman

Join The OHMazing® Way podcast creator, producer and host, Beth Reese, PhD, E-RYT, RCYT, and guest former US Congressman, Alan Steelman, MLA, RYT, in a conversation about learning how to follow your own “Yellow Brick Road” and cultivate your own “Emerald City” through mindfulness of meditation and yoga. In the first half Alan shares how he used mindfulness to “Exit the ASAP Lane,” with ASAP standing for Anxiety, Stress, Addiction, Pressure. In the second half Alan offers 3 tips for practicing being present in daily life:
~ Mindful Driving

Lastly, he discusses his second book, Managing Your Monkey-Mind FItness: Change Your Life, Save Your Life, coming out later this year.
