  • Fantastic information!

    I have scoured the podcast world and web for good information on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos and how to practice yoga in a way that helps rather than damage my joints. So happy to discover this podcast!

  • Jill Miller on Nervous System Regulation for Bendy People

    When I found out that Libby’s podcast was up and running, I binged on all 3 to make sure I was caught up! She’s such a fantastic mentor,

    sooo smart, but knows how to make it accessible for whoever is in her audience. I love that she’s addressing hyper-mobility in this podcast, she's going to help so many people! I was very excited that Jill was her first guest (another fantastic and beloved mentor) because she understands these struggles inside and out. Such a great episode!
