Life creates many in-between moments, and loneliness often accompanies them – whether we're experiencing an empty nest, relocating for a partner's dream, or navigating unexpected loss. In this heartfelt episode of The Space In-Between, Dinine sits down with her dear friend Lori Bisser, a life coach and yoga teacher who recently moved across the country and found herself rebuilding community from scratch.

Lori shares her deeply personal journey into yoga during a challenging period when her children were young and she felt ungrounded. What began as a rented DVD from the library evolved into a transformative practice that connected her to her divine essence and helped her establish deeper relationships with others. Together, Dinine and Lori explore how yoga provides not just physical healing but also emotional resilience during life's transitional spaces.

You'll learn simple breathwork techniques to calm your nervous system, understand how loneliness manifests physically in the body, and discover why noticing small moments of gratitude isn't hokey—it's healing. Whether you're considering yoga as a practice or simply seeking connection during a difficult transition, this episode reminds us that while we can't shortcut our emotional journey, we can find community and self-love even in our most challenging spaces in-between.

Key Takeaways:

• Yoga can serve as a powerful conduit to self-love, helping ground you during times of transition or loneliness
• Numerous studies show yoga's physical healing benefits for conditions ranging from gastrointestinal issues to anxiety and depression
• Simple breath techniques, like breathing out slowly as if through a straw, can help regulate your nervous system during difficult moments
• When experiencing loneliness, allow yourself to feel your emotions fully rather than circumventing them with toxic positivity
• Building community in a new place requires intentional effort—try attending all events at one social gathering place to establish connections
