Come and listen to our Host, Gia-Raquel Rose, for our "Victory Over Fear" Podcast Mini-Series.

This powerful series explores what it truly means to move forward despite uncertainty, self-doubt, and life's challenges. Through authentic conversations, personal stories, and practical wisdom, we uncover how courage is built one step at a time. Fear may be loud, but it doesn't have to have the final say.

Together, we'll discover how healing, faith, resilience, and action can help us overcome the barriers that keep us stuck. Whether you're facing a major life transition, stepping into a new opportunity, or simply learning to trust yourself again, these conversations will encourage you to embrace bravery and move confidently toward your purpose.

Join us as we celebrate the strength found in vulnerability, the growth that comes from taking risks, and the victories that happen when we choose courage over fear.

Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.

Mother’s Day brings up grief, fear, and a very personal link to cancer, so I talk about yoga asana in a way that honours what hurts. I explore why stillness, surrender, and listening to the body can be a form of courage when life feels out of control.

• Mother’s Day as a triggering day and a doorway into grief
• Cancer as an unwelcome invader and the limits of “fight” language
• Fear of mortality and the unknown as a daily human theme
• Stillness as my answer for meeting fear and grief
• Mountain Pose (Tadasana) as facing reality with roots
• Key alignment cues for a stable, supported Tadasana
• Forward folds and Child’s Pose as surrender and release
• Reframing fear as something to embrace without giving up
• Hero Pose (Virasana) as grounded, quiet strength with props
• Heart openers like Camel and Wheel as an arc toward joy
• Nurturing yourself first and listening before the body “screams”
please feel free to share the same with your loved ones.
