Show Notes

Happier Dentist fam! How are you? 

So.. have you had a patient just sit there in the dental chair looking nervous and anxious and possibly in tears, and you didn’t really know how to respond in a way that would ease their mind? 

This episode may interest you. Here, we talk about how breathwork is the foundation to good health. 

Cristians story of his personal journey and inner work led to discovering the beautiful magic of yoga. Through the practice of yoga, it then made an awareness of breathing that elevated his mindfulness practice to eventually beginning his own dental mission trip and breathwork accountability group with his fiance Danielle, and is positively impacting many other once stressed-out dentists. 

Cristian also talks about the key to happiness, which is having true presence. Having true presence on your yoga mat is one thing, but how about in the noisy and busy dental office setting? I How do you get that? By concentrating on your breath. 

Also in this episode, how we are basically just a bunch of emotional children just running around. How does this fit into dentistry? By allowing ourselves to explore this side of our beings every now and then to remember that we need to serve ourselves sometimes. 

Little bit of rest and play never hurt anybody, but sometimes we can forget to schedule it in. 

So, lets dive into the episode!
