  • Somatic practices are trending, but do you know where this mind-body practice originated? Today I want to explore the history and principles of somatic yoga. How it emphasizes the importance of the mind-body connection and the role of emotional release in your physical practice. From influential figures in the somatic space to common misconceptions.

    Learn how to connect with your body on a deeper level as we look at how:

    🔹Sensory awareness is crucial for understanding our body and emotions.

    🔹Traditional yoga often focuses on transcendence, while somatic yoga emphasizes connection to the body

    🔹Pleasure and fun can enhance the healing process in somatic practices

  • Do you ever feel like you’re shaking with rage? Or do you tremble with anxiety? Because your body uses shaking as a means to release stress and trauma from the body! This is a normal response, but cultural conditioning has suppressed our natural inclination to shake off tension. It’s important to care for our bodies, just as we would for pets, and learn to close the stress cycle. Somatic shaking can help.

    Take a breath, give yourself a little shake, and let’s talk about how:

    🔹Neurogenic tremors occur in both animals and humans after stressful events

    🔹Time does not heal wounds; it covers them with fascia

    🔹Incorporating shaking into daily life can help manage stress

  • Do you ever wonder how to discern your true intuitive voice from fear or habitual thoughts?

    Today I talk to psychic medium Natalie Miles, who emphasizes there is no right or wrong way to receive intuitive messages. We talk about how intuition is tapping into your own inner power and knowing, and it communicates through the physical, emotional, and spiritual body; and the role of trust and the need to take action on intuitive messages. Natalie and I deep dive into how to cultivate a relationship with your intuition, tools to help harness your intuition and how to cultivate trust within yourself.

    Grab your oracle cards and get ready to nerd out with us on:

    🔹The different ways intuition can show up, such as intuitive hits, downloads, and messages.

    🔹The connection between intuition and fear/anxiety, and how fear can arise when intuition is asking us to do something big or outside of our comfort zone

    🔹Where intuition resides in the body, with Natalie highlighting the heart as a significant center for intuition.

  • Today I want to talk about something we all deal with, body image. I know this can be a complex topic, especially in relation to the yoga and wellness industry. There is still a need for more diverse role models in this space and when it comes to body image; embracing your unique body and self-acceptance is a journey that requires ongoing effort.

    Let’s talk about:

    🔹How yoga has shifted towards a performative sport rather than a personal practice.

    🔹That clothing should enhance our authentic selves, not serve as a punishment.

    🔹The importance of challenging societal norms around body image.

  • A lot of us struggle with shame, self-sabotage, and setting boundaries. I know I used to! Andrea Owen, author and life coach, is here to tell you the hard truth. That shame is inevitable in life and it's not going away. BUT, self-compassion, empathy, and mindfulness are key components of building shame resilience. We also talk about how personal growth ebbs and flows and setting boundaries is essential. Yes it can be challenging, but it is important to prioritize your own needs and well-being.

    Listen in as Andrea explains:

    🔹Shame as a normal and inevitable part of life, rather than something to be overcome.

    🔹The connection between shame and behaviors such as people-pleasing and perfectionism.

    🔹Strategies for building shame resilience, including self-compassion, empathy, and speaking shame.

  • Have you ever fallen into this trap? I know you’ve heard me talk about how as healers we have a hard time charging for our services, but there is another trap we easily fall into similar to this: OVERGIVING. Meaning, you are offering way more than you’re potentially charging for. This often comes from a place of insecurity, which is why showing up as your authentic self is so important.

    Let’s explore:

    🔹Overgiving can lead to feelings of resentment, depletion, and burnout.

    🔹Setting boundaries and stating pure desires can help prevent over-giving.

    🔹Focusing on quality over quantity is important in all areas of life.

  • Today, let’s explore the difference between traditional yoga and somatic yoga. While traditional yoga focuses on alignment, somatic yoga allows you to process and deeply feel your emotions. I will never tell you not to do a traditional yoga class, There is an incredible amount of value there and I have so much love for yogic tradition. But, I would like to encourage you to bring more somatic movement into your practice.

    Let’s discuss:

    🔹Traditional yoga’s focus on alignment, strength, and breath control, while somatic yoga emphasizes embodiment, emotional processing, and non-habitual movement.

    🔹Five common yoga poses that can be made more somatic: sufi grind, spinal flex, cat-cow, downward dog, and janu sirsasana.

    🔹How somatic yoga allows individuals to deepen their connection with their bodies and process difficult emotions.

  • Let’s delve into the realm of the subconscious with my long lost friend, Allison Roman! Allison and I used to teach yoga together in San Francisco a decade ago, but reconnected on Instagram, and I got curious about her work as a Transformation Holistic Hypnotherapist who specializes in the subconscious. Your subconscious is making most of your major decisions. Even if you bring awareness of your patterning into the moment, it’s often not enough and in some cases, can keep you stuck!

    Nerd out with us on:

    🔹Subconscious reprogramming, NLP and what’s special about hypnotherapy

    🔹New ways to define samskaras, the ego and the “highest self”

    🔹Why curiosity is key when shifting long term patterns (and exactly how to use it)

    In this episode, I share some of my own deeply held negative beliefs I’m trying to shift, and Allison coaches me live. I know what she has to say about anxiety and negative predictions can help you too. Listen in!
