Episode 38, and 39 of the work in our, a beautiful collaboration between myself and Kailyn Vu from Dear Lovely Universe. We decided to get a little creative and swap hosts for each of our podcasts. So today you're going to hear Kaelin, interviewing me about trauma release exercise and yoga, about the connection between the nervous system and our health, about how we can better nourish ourselves, body, mind and spirit. It's a great conversation.

Trauma Release Yoga combines the mindful movement of a traditional yoga flow with freedom of choice, options and action, empowered nervous system communication with the tremor mechanism,  and guided meditation. It offers a way to integrate the best of both worlds to support students in their path to self recovery from all forms of stress injury. 

The word trauma...it holds a lot of stigma. When you hear it you might think major injury, assault, catastrophic event, abuse, suffering but underlying all of these is a sense of victim-hood. I used to think (and maybe you did too)that only soldiers experienced trauma. It never occurred to me that as a human being I’m exposed to trauma all the time.

Like a good watchdog, your autonomic nervous system alerts you to danger and can save your life. But just like the watchdog that cries wolf, barking at everything and nothing, soon people stop paying attention.
