How to Rewire Your Brain & Stop Anxiety | Terrence the Teacher | The Champagne Yogi #2

Описание: Welcome to VimYoga The Champagne Yogi Podcast. In this episode, Vimla (Spiritual Fitness Coach) sits down with Terrence the Teacher, a Mental Fitness Coach, therapist, clinical hypnotherapist, and neurolinguistics practitioner, to explore practical tools for calming the nervous system, interrupting negative thought patterns, and building mental resilience.

Terrence shares his signature approach called The Brain Edit—a simple, hands-on method to strengthen the brain the same way you strengthen muscles: through repetition of new habits and positive patterns. Together, Vimla and Terrence connect modern psychology with timeless yogic principles, showing how breathwork, mindfulness, and self-parenting can help you cope with life’s challenges and move from overwhelm to clarity.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, stressed, stuck in old patterns, or searching for grounded tools that actually work in everyday life this conversation is for you.
