We want to know: What's nourishing you?
Welcome to our series, Nourished. Here, we feature women creating an enriching life and ask what's currently nourishing their mind, body and soul, inspired by our Women's Daily Vitamin Trio ($38), which targets the three pillars of health and wellbeing.
Meet Miki Ash, founder of the virtual wellness app, The How, which shares on-demand wellness in the form of yoga, meditations, and workouts. The conscious creator is consistently inspires us to get our daily movement in. She's a must-follow for yoga practices, motivational reminders, and that daily reset that's so needed in our feed. We chatted with Miki on the power of movement, accepting herself exactly as she is, and taking care of her hormonal health.
