In this episode of The Fitness Beginner Podcast, I sit down with Regan Caruthers—a former Silicon Valley executive turned spiritual teacher, author, and yoga instructor. After being divinely guided back to St. Louis, Regan faced a life-changing open-heart surgery that transformed her perspective on health, purpose, and healing. She shares her remarkable journey from corporate burnout to spiritual awakening, the lessons from her memoir Tragic Magic, and the powerful tools that helped her overcome childhood trauma.

Listeners will also learn how yoga supports not just physical strength, but emotional and spiritual well-being—plus beginner-friendly tips for anyone looking to start their own healing journey through movement, mindfulness, and heart-centered living.
