A science-backed path back to focus, creativity, and energy — from a biochemist, yoga therapist, and three-time international athlete who burned out and built her way back.
A way to work, create, and recover without crashing — built on neuroscience, ancient yogic philosophy, and the seasonal rhythm your nervous system was already designed to follow.
Integrating ancient wisdom and modern science, Carolyn Bentley Wells provides a clear path for the reader to achieve a life of harmonic flow.
