The Embodied Resilience Podcast

Half way into my pregnancy it has already been teaching me so much about nervous system capacity in a very real and embodied way.  There have been moments where I’ve had to completely let go of productivity and simply listen to what my body was asking for. Moments where slowing down wasn’t a wellness choice or a mindful lifestyle decision, but the only thing that felt possible. And in many ways, t...

What exactly is YinMersion and who is this experience really for? In this episode, I’m sharing more about the intention behind YinMersion, my free 3-day online experience for yoga teachers and practitioners exploring yin yoga through a more embodied, nervous system aware, and trauma sensitive approach. We talk about: ❊ why many people intellectually understand healing, nervous system work, or yin...

YinMersion is coming back this June ✨ This is a free 3-day online experience for yoga teachers and practitioners who want to explore yin yoga through a more embodied, nervous system aware, and trauma sensitive approach. Over the years, I’ve noticed that many people can understand concepts intellectually, yet still feel disconnected from their own bodies in practice. We can learn about the nervous...

One of the most common things I hear from students, both in classes and in trainings, is this idea of wanting to “go deeper” in their practice. And very often, what they mean by that is getting further into a pose. More stretch, more sensation, more intensity. It’s such a common way of thinking, especially in a yoga culture that has, for a long time, associated progress with flexibility. But over...

In this episode, we explore something I feel is missing in many yin yoga teacher trainings: learning to truly hold space. Most courses teach poses, sequencing, anatomy, and meridian theory. And while those things matter, they don’t necessarily prepare teachers for what happens when a real human experience unfolds in the room. Because yin yoga has a way of bringing people into contact with themselv...

Yin yoga is often seen as the place to slow down, switch off, and finally relax. But what happens when stillness doesn’t feel calming at all? In this episode, I explore something that is rarely spoken about in the yin yoga space: why slow does not automatically mean safe, and why stillness can sometimes feel uncomfortable, restless, or even overwhelming instead of regulating. We look at how the ne...

In this episode, we explore a belief I hear often in the yoga world: “You can’t really learn yoga online.” And honestly, I understand where that idea comes from. Many people invest in online trainings, watch a few modules, and then the course slowly disappears into the background of their lives. The information is there, but something important is missing: the connection, the guidance, the account...

For the past couple of months, things have been a little quieter here. In this video, I’m sharing a personal life update and explaining why. I’m 3 months pregnant and the first trimester has been a very humbling experience. The past weeks have brought a lot of nausea, fatigue, and a strong reminder that sometimes the body asks us to slow down in ways we didn’t plan for. Because of this new phase o...

The period after the holidays is a strange in-between space. On the outside, life seems to return to normal. Work resumes. Schedules fill up again. There’s a quiet expectation to get back into rhythm, to be productive, to move forward. But inside, many of us feel anything but settled. In this episode, I’m talking about what really happens in the nervous system after the holidays, especially if tha...

You know, every time I guide a new group through my course, I think I know what to expect, and then I’m reminded again: this work never stops surprising me. Because what happens inside this training isn’t just about memorizing poses. It’s about the moment something clicks, it’s about a way of being and showing up in life. And the stories that come out of this training move me every single time. To...

In this episode we’re exploring what it really means to practice or teach in a way that feels like coming home to your body, your emotions, your nervous system. So many yoga teachers and practitioners find themselves stuck in patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, or comparison. And often, the exhaustion we’re trying to heal through yoga comes with us onto the mat. This is where trauma-informed yi...

Have you ever felt like you’re not ready yet to teach, to lead, or to hold space for others, because you’re still healing yourself? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share the quiet truth that so many yoga teachers and practitioners carry: the belief that we must be “fixed,” fully healed, or endlessly educated before we can hold space safely. But readiness doesn’t come before the journey - it c...

Most yoga teachers and practitioners believe yin yoga is about stillness, long holds, and deep stretching. But beneath the surface, something far more profound is happening and most teacher trainings or even classes completely miss it. Because yin yoga doesn’t just stretch your body, it speaks to your nervous system. It touches the emotions that live in the deep layers of the body, the stories sto...

There’s a kind of exhaustion that goes beyond tiredness, the kind that no amount of sleep, meditation, or self-care can fix. It’s the quiet burnout of always being the one who holds it all together. In this episode, I share a very personal story of how I discovered that my “balanced” lifestyle - yoga, healthy lifestyle - was actually built on nervous system dysregulation. I looked calm on the outs...

When you come into a yin yoga pose, what truly matters isn’t how deep you go, it’s whether your body feels safe enough to soften. In this episode, we explore the felt sense of safety, the deep, quiet signal in your nervous system that says, “I don’t have to be on guard right now.” Without this internal safety, no sequence, no cue, and no posture will create the calm we long for. You’ll learn: Why...

Most people think flexibility in yoga means touching your toes. But real flexibility - the kind that actually is life changing - has nothing to do with how far you can fold. But what I wish more yoga spaces would talk about: real flexibility isn’t just about the body. It’s about your nervous system. It’s about how you meet emotions, how you respond to stress, how you hold space for what’s uncomfor...

Have you practiced yoga perhaps for years and still felt like something was missing? Maybe your body got stronger, your flexibility improved, but deep down your nervous system was still running on overdrive, your emotions still felt stuck, and the stress or burnout never really went away. That was me for years. In this episode, I share my turning point from corporate burnout and illness into disco...

Have you ever felt out of place in a yoga or spiritual space, surrounded by all the “good vibes”, but inside something just didn’t sit right? That subtle discomfort, what I call the spiritual ick, often points to something deeper being avoided. In this episode, I explore spiritual bypassing: when spiritual language or practices are used to dismiss real emotions, grief, trauma, or responsibility. W...

Triggers in yoga are real, and they show up for both students and teachers, yet they’re rarely talked about openly. In this episode, we explore what triggers are, why they happen, and how they relate to trauma stored in the body. You’ll learn: How even seemingly “safe” postures like Child’s Pose, Happy Baby, or Puppy Pose can activate the nervous system. Why verbal cues, touch, stillness, or breat...

Touch in yoga can be one of the most supportive tools for healing, or one of the most harmful one. The difference? It’s not the adjustment itself, but how, why, and with what awareness it’s offered. In this episode, we dive into the deeply important (and often overlooked) topic of ethical touch and informed, ongoing, explicit consent in yoga spaces. We’ll explore: Why consent cards and “one-time a...

When we talk about trauma-informed yoga, two words carry immense weight: self-regulation and co-regulation. They might sound technical, but they’re anything but. These are deeply human skills, the invisible threads that help us stay steady in our own nervous system, and allow us to meet others with presence, safety, and compassion. In this episode, I explore: ✨ What self-regulation really is (and...

Yoga is not just about sequencing, cues, or playlists. What truly transforms a class is how safe, seen, and supported your students feel in your presence. In this episode, I explore: What attunement really is, and how it shapes the nervous system state of your students The art of space holding and why it matters more than the “perfect” class plan Why the antidote to anxiety isn’t calm, but safety...

Have you ever been in a yoga class where emotions surfaced and no one knew what to do? Maybe you’ve been the teacher, unsure how to support a student without overstepping. Or maybe you’ve been the student, wishing for a space that felt truly safe. This is where trauma-informed space holding becomes important. In this episode, I’ll share: ✨ Why space holding is one of the most essential, yet overl...

In this conversation, I sit down with my mentor from The Yoga Therapy Institute to explore the deeper layers of yoga therapy and trauma-informed work. We explore the following topics: My mentor’s personal journey into yoga therapy What yoga therapy really is (and how it differs from a yoga class) How trauma-informed approaches integrate into yoga therapy The educational work The Yoga Therapy Insti...
