Everyday Heroes: You are not alone. Lauren Eckstrom shares her personal story of miscarriage.

Lauren Eckstrom, yoga teacher, meditation teacher and author, opens up about a very personal topic, loss. She shares her own personal story, as she lost her unborn child at eleven weeks pregnant. In our culture this topic doesn’t always get the awareness it deserves. There is a lot of stigma surrounding it, leaving many to feel silenced. This discussion with Lauren even brings up how we define brave in our culture, and maybe something we need to redefine by ways of reception and outlook.

Travis Eliot & Lauren Eckstrom are a married couple who've been sharing yoga across the globe for years, including bringing yoga inside prisons and changing the lives of the incarcerated. It begs the question; if those behind bars had been exposed to this practice in early years, would their lives have ended up differently? As Travis talks about the "product of our environments", we reflect on our own lives, the environments we were brought up in, and the state of the environments we create for ourselves.
