Rosie Acosta on Being Radically Loved

May 3, 2022

 

Rosie Acosta has studied yoga and mindfulness for more than 20 years, and has been a teacher for over a decade. She hosts a weekly conversational wellness podcast called Radically Loved. She's travelled all over the world leading workshops, retreats and yoga teacher trainings. Rosie works with a wide range of students from those in her East Los Angeles community to Olympic athletes, NFL champions, NBA All Stars and veterans of war. She's a first generation Mexican American, and her mission is to help others overcome adversity and experience radical love. She has been featured by Yoga Journal, Well and Good, Forbes + The New York Post.

You Are Radically Loved: A Healing Journey to Self-Love is Rosie Acosta's story of how she used her trauma as an opportunity for radical self-love. This book offers hope, healing, and a new way of loving yourself (even if you feel like you have nothing to give.) Rosie tells her own story of shattering the cycle of abandonment, abuse and silence she grew up in...and how her own healing journey led her to finding peace, joy and freedom in herself, which she now wants to share with you.
