Next week on The BACK LOUNGE, its about maintaining CALM, how do you incorporate a yoga and/or meditation mindset into your life, and if you haven’t managed to when you’ve tried, what’s got in the way? Our host is Sytske Kamstra, Event Producer and Yoga Therapist, who by her own admission, sometimes is able to successfully show up for herself, and sometimes life gets in the way = call it being HUMAN.

Managing grief and bereavement is our discussion next Thursday on The BACK LOUNGE with music savvy guest psychotherapist Adrianna Irvine http://adriannatherapy.com/ Whatever you may have unfolding back home, it can be hard to manage when you’re on the road. Many of us are avoidant at the best of times, and touring can be a great place to hide, so how can we manage our feelings without being avoidant, and not let the team down? Thursday (note not our usual Wednesday) 29th May 6pm London / 7pm CET / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT
