Elena Brower is a celebrated international yoga and meditation teacher on Glo, guiding transformative practices since 1999. Her debut book, Art of Attention, has been translated into seven languages. In 2023, she received Jukai (lay Buddhist vows) from Roshi Joan Jiko Halifax at Upaya Zen Center and is a student in Upaya’s Chaplaincy Training As part of her service, she volunteers in hospice and penitentiary settings, bringing yoga, meditation, and compassionate presence. Her most recent book, Hold Nothing, investigates what it means to let go of narratives and return to the spacious emptiness within. Here she and Dawson reflect on:

Elena's background
The moment of change: “How do I ever stop?
The alignment of outer work with the vows and values
The sometimes scary inner world
Exercise: when you want run away, stay with it for one more breath
The point where the void ceases to be fearful
Letting go of the external extraneous realities
Why there's no way to escape sickness, old age, death, and losing everyone you love
Wisdom in the quiet
