Come and listen to our Host, Gia-Raquel Rose for our “End of Year, Beginning of Me” Podcast Series.
A powerfully themed mini-series helping women close the year with clarity and step into the next one with grounded self-love and vision.

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.

We trace a clear line from invisible illness to visible choices, exploring how diet, alcohol, and small permissions shape health and self-trust. The heart of the conversation is priorities, accountability, and the quiet work of building discipline without shame.

• living with Hashimoto’s and persistent fatigue
• keto vs paleo and slow, staged transitions
• the “one time” trap using truffle fries as a metaphor
• quitting alcohol, tough truths about smoking, and social settings
• trial and error for bio‑individual nutrition
• priorities, accountability, and redefining maturity
• forgiveness after slips and returning to practice
• designing environments that support discipline

• grounding in breath, body comfort, and a protective light
• carousel metaphor for cycles and closure
• animal beneath you as protector and present pattern
