Conscious Living (2015)

Conscious Living celebrates the courageous journey of becoming a more mindful human. Through the misadventures, insights and personal experiences of its Emmy-nominated hosts - Bianca Alexander, a black yoga teacher and attorney, and her husband Michael, a white vegan chef and energy medicine practitioner - Conscious Living offers a non-judgmental framework for viewers to consider a more holistic lifestyle. The duo's yin-yang dynamic provides unexpected conflict and humor that is essential to the dichotomous journey of awakening. This season, the hosts trek through garbage dumps exposing the inequalities of the Indian caste system, heal ancestral trauma, PTSD and anxiety with alternative modalities, confront the impact of patriarchy and white supremacy on indigenous cultures, uncover the timeless beauty of net zero design, and dare to travel the world as vegans in search of the best plant-based cuisine on the planet. As the hosts travel vulnerably to both inner and outer parts unknown, they authentically grapple with their own struggles inside of race, gender, inequality, climate change, spirituality and mental health, and serve as shamanic journeymen for viewers looking to awaken to a more mindful life. Through a lighthearted lens, Conscious Living offers viewers a compassionate roadmap for bettering themselves, their communities and the planet.
