From Pain to Possibility

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.

In this episode, I unpack a simple but powerful idea: sensation is not the same as movement. Many people I work with are incredibly good at feeling their bodies, yet still feel stuck in pain or repetitive patterns. I explore why relying on sensation alone can be misleading and how this often keeps people trapped in cycles of tightness, flare-ups, and temporary relief.
I also explain how integrating proprioception—our ability to sense movement and mechanical relationships—creates real, lasting change. By learning to notice what is actually moving, rather than just what is felt, awareness becomes more effective, movement becomes more efficient, and the body no longer needs to compensate in the same way.

In this episode, I explore the difference between true core stability and habitual bracing, and why relying on bracing can actually make us less stable over time. I explain why this topic is especially relevant now, as more people in yoga, fitness, and bodywork are moving beyond an "abs-only" view of the core. I also share why I revisited this conversation alongside the updated 2026 Power of Pure Movement program.
I break down how real stability comes from responsiveness, coordination, and adaptability—not rigidity. Through anatomy, breath awareness, and simple movement examples, I invite you to notice where bracing shows up in your body and how load is being managed. This episode is about learning to use less effort, allow more movement, and build a core that responds intelligently rather than one that's constantly held tight.

In this episode, I guide you through a gentle yoga nidra practice focused on body scanning, breath awareness, and deep relaxation. I invite you to get comfortable, settle your body fully, and allow yourself to let go of effort as you move into a state of stillness and ease. Through a slow, flowing awareness of different parts of the body, this practice supports rest, presence, and a sense of being quietly held.
I also introduce the use of intention and the so hum mantra as a way to connect inner awareness with how you want to be in your life. By sensing the natural rhythm of your breath and noticing how intention resonates in the body, this practice offers a space to restore, reset, and gently transition back into your day with more clarity and calm.
