Bio:

**Brian Hyman**

I am a yoga and meditation teacher in the Los Angeles area. I have been sober since November 2009. I have been teaching yoga at a prominent treatment center in Malibu, CA since 2012. I have worked with thousands of clients at every stage of recovery. I recently created/published the 30-day audio course “Recovery: Principles for a Purposeful Life” on the top-rated meditation app/site Insight Timer. Over 1,600 students around the world have enrolled since the course launched in March 2020.

I have been interviewed for my extensive work with yoga, spirituality, and recovery by LA Voyage, Life by Me, Sivana, Origin, Mindful Yoga Health, Neon Tommy, and Malibu Times. My writing about yoga, recovery, and wellness has been published by Mantra Wellness, Whole Life Times, Insight Timer, and Yoga Digest. I am also a contributing author for the upcoming book “Inside the Warrior,” which details practice methods of notable male yoga teachers around the world.

I have been a guest teacher, group facilitator, and featured speaker in and around Los Angeles at Cast Recovery, Riviera Recovery, The Canyon, 180 Center, Chabad, Sol Sanctuary, Soba Recovery, and Tarzana Treatment Center.

In addition to my 30-day course about recovery on Insight Timer, my 10-day audio courses on the app/site include “Cultivating a Heart of Gratitude” and “ Yogic Principles for Transformation.” My video course “Meditation for Everyone: Calm, Balance, and Peace” is available on Udemy.com; and my yoga, breath work, and guided meditation videos are available on Yoga30.com.

Please visit my website www.brianhymanyoga.com for more information. Ultimately, my goal with creating content and conversation around recovery and wellness is to help remove shame and stigma from addiction, depression, and anxiety, and to help people find wholeness in their lives.

Anna Runkle – Crappy Childhood Fairy

By thehealingplacepodcast | January 11, 2019

Welcome to The Healing Place Podcast! I’m your host, Teri Wellbrock. You can listen in on iTunes, Blubrry or directly on my website at www.teriwellbrock.com/podcasts/

I was excited to have Anna Runkle, the Crappy Childhood Fairy, join me for a deep and powerful conversation about her Crappy Childhood Fairy mission, courses, philosophies, and more!

Anna Runkle is a video producer, speaker and writer, and is the author of the blog Crappy Childhood Fairy, where she cartoons and writes about her own childhood, growing up in a hippie family that struggled with alcohol, drugs, violence and poverty. In the blog, Anna writes essays — with her characteristic tough love humor — about the challenges faced by many people with high ACE scores. In the blog and in her online course, Healing Childhood PTSD, she teaches simple techniques that she’s used to overcome the nervous system dysregulation that so often accompanies Childhood PTSD. She’s currently working on a new online course, Dating and Relationships for People with Childhood PTSD, to be released during the holidays. When she’s not blogging, she produces marketing and training videos for healthcare and business clients at her company Click to Play Media. She lives with her husband and two teenage sons in Berkeley, California.

You can find out more information by visiting https://crappychildhoodfairy.com/.

As shared from the Crappy Childhood website: “I didn’t know then that what I had was Childhood PTSD. It’s a little different than the kind that soldiers get (which is triggered by events in adulthood). Mine became obvious one day in 1994 when I was attacked on the street, and was knocked unconscious. My injuries healed but I could not focus my mind enough to read or use the phone for several months. I had panic attacks and depression, and began falling into an emotional abyss. In the nick of time, I was shown a particular daily practice of writing and meditating that immediately made me feel better. Over the last 24 years I’ve shown this technique to hundreds of people who seemed to suffer similarly to me, though none of us had a name for it before.”

Thanks for listening in to this inspirational conversation!
