Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood.

In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned. • women’s voices and the long history of silencing and oppression • throat chakra blockages, energetic debris and possible ancestral patterns • balancing speech and silence, intuition and discernment as the real skill • a mindset shift from “respect is earned” to respect as inherent while trust is earned • meditation setup options for sitting, reclining, savasana and legs up the wall • breathwork and grounding through points of contact with the earth • blue light visualization to clear stuck energy and expand your voice • noticing images, memories, sensations or silence as valid inner guidance • linking throat, heart and third eye so truth carries wisdom and kindness • sealing intentions, gratitude practice and practical aftercare like water and notes For more Divas That Care Network Episodes visit www.divasthatcare.com
