There's a stopping point for every shape or movement in our body. A point past which our bones do not go (without injury). For many of us, the far extreme is unnecessary to test. And just inside of your edge is a full range of possible movement that you can keep (or regain) by moving […]
Moved to Heal is a podcast of trauma-sensitive movement and yoga practices. In each practice episode, I'll remind you that you have choices in your movements; invite you to notice things like breath, feeling, and movement; and celebrate healing through movement, one practice at a time.
I created Moved to Heal to create a safe space to move and "tune in" to yourself. As a podcast there are no visuals to copy, no required location or attire, you can engage with the movement offerings from where you are, exactly as you are.
All practice episodes will include "everyday" moves, and some will also include yoga forms (e.g., down dog, warrior, etc), while following a standard structure:

Moved to Heal is meant to be a safe and inclusive space. I'm always open to ideas for how to do this better for you. My hope is that the podcast helps you spend time moving "in" your body, making choices that feel right to you, and building awareness.
As part of the awareness building, you might choose to take some time after the practice to record what you noticed, perhaps in a journal or as a voice memo. If you prefer to leave what you notice in the time and space of the practice, that's perfect, too.
Moved to Heal is for anyone who wants to build awareness of their own physical and internal experiences through movement. The practices are designed with survivors of complex trauma in mind, using foundational principles of trauma-sensitive yoga.
Depending on where someone is in their recovery, Moved to Heal practices could be a resource they use independently or in conjunction with other therapeutic tools, including talk therapy.
Yes! I'm available to teach trauma-sensitive movement or yoga practices, via Zoom and in-person (space and safety measures permitting).
Please email me for more information and/or to discuss bringing trauma-sensitive yoga to your community.
