Description

Too many health gurus promise a "new you" built around self-deprivation, bodily purity and dietary restrictions. But let's get real. Sometimes you just need a hangover cure that actually works. Or a yoga pose you can do at your desk. Or a way to debloat what feels like an alien baby in your abdomen. In RETOX, health expert, Lauren Imparato, offers a no-nonsense approach to health for the life you already live - working hard, playing hard and renewing your balance and energy so you can do it all again. Lauren Imparato is a former Wall Street trader and Vice President of Morgan Stanley who quit her job to start her own yoga studio and become a qualified yoga instructor and a wellness coach. Lauren has taught thousands of students in New York, Barcelona, Madrid, Ibiza, Panama and elsewhere.
