The Science of Light
The Science of Light is a podcast that weaves stories, research, and philosophy to make sense of life. Join me, Rosemary, in exploring holistic wellness topics from a perspective that blends spirituality with science. I am a yoga teacher, training yoga therapist, recovering addict, entrepreneur, researcher, parent, and student of life. I am a firm believer that everyone brings a unique perspective based on their experiences, and that exploring wellness from a variety of angles, when colored by personal experiences and research, is the best way to learn about ourselves and the world. Join me in becoming better humans by keeping our feet on the ground, head in the stars, and staying in the light!
