    #20 - "Nobody knows what brings ease, stability, and care for my body, better than I do." (2/2)

    We enter into a flurry of thoughts and opinions in this 2nd part of our conversation with Leigh Khoo! Taking a stab at trauma informed yoga, we chat about how trauma shows up in yoga classes and how we can all be more aware and informed about trauma when we share our yoga practices together.  Much of trauma live as imprints in our body — our muscle tone, breath patterns, our emotional reactions to certain body postures, and capacities to arrive in the present moment, just to name a few. With that context, there is no doubt that trauma will show up in yoga classes. Some of the highlights in this episode include:  The need for control is the only way to feel safe when we are carrying trauma, and why that makes surrendering so hard Offer invitations for inquiry instead of giving hard instructions and demands Hold spaces for people to feel, and let them know that if they do not feel, that's okay too. Our practice does not determine our worth.  Breath attuned practice vs. breath embodied practice Taking full ownership and responsibility over my Yoga practice, and the importance of a self practice Join us in this conversation, one unravel at a time.

    #19 - a daily remembering of our inner goodness (1/2)

    "I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening — a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation." - Peter Levine We enter into our most spiritual episode yet with our new guest, Leigh Khoo (www.living-yoga.co). In this 2-part intimate sharing of her lifelong relationship with Yoga that began at the age of 16, Leigh weaves in stories of curiosity, pain, love, and anger that led her onto a path home to herself and her inner divinity. As we listen to tales of her meeting yoga, falling out of the practice, then returning to, and deepening of the practice, the stories seem to mirror her relationship with her own pain and healing — non linear with twists and turns.  Yoga holds up a mirror to our relationship with ourselves, our bodies, and ultimately, our divinity, our inner goodness. Our hearts nourished, as we listened to Leigh's journey into her inner divinity, from a constant grasping at control to a yielding surrender to life and its grander mysteries.  May your heart be nourished by her sharing too. 💕 Join us in this conversation, one unravel at a time.
