From Pain to Possibility

In this episode, I unpack the conversation around "lazy" or "non-firing" glutes and explore why simply strengthening them may not be the full answer. I share why I get curious when people tell me their glutes are weak, especially when they're already doing all the right exercises like squats, bridges, and clamshells.
I walk through the anatomy of the glutes, the role of coordination and compensation, and how breath, ribcage position, and nervous system patterns can influence how the glutes actually function. Instead of just squeezing harder, I invite you to consider a smarter, more connected approach to restoring relationship and communication in your hips.

In this episode, I dive into the concept of strength and why it isn't always the answer. I share insights on how strength can sometimes mask timing and coordination issues in the body, and why simply getting stronger doesn't always solve movement challenges. We explore the hidden patterns that make people feel stuck, even when they appear strong or have regained capacity after injury.
I also guide you through the idea of using awareness and coordination to truly support movement. By breaking down movements into small components and retraining coordination, you can help your body—or your clients—move with more confidence, clarity, and ease. This episode is about understanding how strength and coordination work together to create lasting, sustainable results.

In this episode, I explore the difference between using movement for relief versus using it for real, lasting change. I unpack the concept of "Yoga Advil," why relief isn't wrong, and how it can either keep you stuck or become the doorway to deeper understanding and healing.
I also introduce what it means to become a movement detective — someone who uses curiosity, awareness, and feedback instead of just repetition. This episode is about learning how to think while you move, so your body isn't just feeling better, but actually changing.

In this episode, I explore the sacrum from both a mythic and anatomical perspective, uncovering why so many ancient cultures considered it sacred and indestructible. I connect history, symbolism, and modern biomechanics to show how this bone has always been seen as more than just structural.
I also share how understanding the sacrum's role in movement, stability, and coordination can change the way we experience pelvic pain and SI joint issues. By shifting our focus from fragility to resilience, we can approach the body with more intelligence, confidence, and ease.

In this episode, I share why I created the Therapeutic Yoga Intensive, who it's truly for, and the problem it's designed to solve. I speak to that quiet moment many experienced teachers and health professionals reach—when effort, compassion, and knowledge stop translating into lasting change, and you start to sense there must be another way.

I explain how this work shifts the focus from chasing sensation and symptoms to understanding coordination, motor control, and how the body truly adapts. If you've ever felt stuck, confused, or doubtful despite doing "everything right," this episode is an invitation to see movement, healing, and your work with others in a completely new way.
