Hey everyone. I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is Yoga Land.

Today my guest is Reggie Hubbard. Reggie is such a fascinating person. He is the founder

of Active Peace Yoga, where he shares and teaches

sound healing, meditation, and what he calls resilience training, which I think we could all use

a lot of these days. For years before Reggie found yoga, he was a political strategist. So he

worked on major campaigns like the Carrie Edwards campaign in 2004. He worked on

the Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016. And he also served as a congressional liaison and senior

political strategists for move on, helping shape political policies and mobilize grassroots movements.

As you can well imagine, this is really intense work.

And fortunately, Reggie found yoga and meditation and sound healing as a way to find balance.

Reggie's also a stroke survivor, and I became really interested in his journey when I found him on Instagram

because he was willing to articulate his healing process with just a deep sense

of vulnerability and care. And I could recognize in his writing and his willingness to share

so openly a lot of what I went through in my own breast cancer journey, which is this

sense that your whole life just radically

shifts, your whole sense of being alive, radically shifts. So we talk about that today. We talk

about his stroke recovery and brain health. We talk about his background in Washington,

which is really interesting right now, especially as the U.S. is at this crazy inflection point in our own political landscape.

And then finally, we talk about the resilience training that he's conducting online with active peace yoga.

So I know you're going to find him really interesting.

I feel so fortunate to be able to get to know him and talk to him a little bit.

He's funny and he's wise.
