Whether you realize it or not, we give ourselves prescriptions for better health and well-being, perhaps even more mojo, all the time. Yet, actually taking our own little pills is the real litmus test of our resolve and our ultimate progress. Get Scott and Jean Marie’s tips for following through with your own best laid plans.

Listen in for our tips on finding the Goldilocks grip on our ideal lifestyle - not too crazy firm, and not too lackadaisical, but juuuust right! Hint: the biggest key is not a miracle, it’s just your morning.

If you love breath work and if you love feeling great, you want to tune in to this episode of The MOJO Show featuring special guest Rohi Custage! She’s one of the newest instructors in the MOJO community and she’s a specialist in the practice of Gamma Breath. This transformative breath work practice targets gamma brain waves. What is gamma? Gamma state is defined as a brain state where experience, knowledge and wisdom swirl around and form new ideas - the “ah-ha” experience, if you will. Rohi helps us understand and familiarize ourselves with this practice by leading us through 2 separate exercises right on the podcast. And I’ll tell you, they totally changed the way I felt in the 1-2 minutes it took to do them. Tune in and see what I mean. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Check out blog.mymojoyoga.com/episode67 for more information and all the links mentioned in the show.
