What if improving your performance starts with learning how to relax?

In this episode of the Capital Conquest Podcast, we welcome Laura Deimling to discuss an exciting addition to Capital Conquest 2026, the one-day Yoga & Recovery Track.

While martial artists often focus on strength, technique, and pushing their limits, there's another side to training that's just as important. Breathing, balance, body awareness, and learning to release unnecessary tension can make a real difference in how we move and feel.

Laura joins us to discuss this unique experience, which brings together chakra meditation and energy healing, Tai Chi, medical Qigong, and Aikido.

Whether you're a martial artist, yoga enthusiast, or simply curious about the connection between mind and body, this episode offers a look at what makes this special track worth exploring.

Join us Saturday, November 7, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Capital Conquest in Gatineau, Quebec.
