The Balance Theory

Natalie Kuhn on taking mindfulness from a checklist to a way of being

Ep. 110

In this episode of The Balance Theory Podcast, we explore the intersection of mindfulness and movement with Natalie Kuhn, the Co-CEO and founding teacher of The class.


Natalie shares her insights on how mindful movement can help us to reconnect with our bodies and live more freely, and offers tips on how to maintain inner balance in moments of challenge - not only that, moments where we have competing areas of our life being challenged all at once. She also discusses the importance of making mindfulness a part of our daily lives, and the role of honesty in our journey towards self-discovery.



Tune in to learn more about the power of living mindfully and how it can help you to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
