Moving to Columbus Twice, Underground Yoga in Soviet Lithuania and Finding Somatic Therapy with Anastasija Katcyna (Re-Release)

Anastasija grew up in post-Soviet Lithuania, got a green card at 18, and spent years bouncing between Columbus, London, Edinburgh, and Norway before eventually landing back in Ohio and becoming a somatic therapist and yoga teacher. We talk about growing up post-Soviet, the green card bureaucracy, and how a business trip to Columbus turned permanent once the pandemic hit.

(This episode was originally released on 9/23/2025.)
