    Your Nervous System Is Talking. Are You Listening - with Erin Hotz

    Episode Description What if the key to managing stress isn't doing more—but learning to listen to your body? In this episode of The Yoga Connection Podcast, Jamie and Bobbi sit down with licensed clinical social worker Erin Hotz to explore the powerful connection between the nervous system, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.
