I recently had the opportunity to join the Mindfulness in Motion podcast for a conversation about something I see often in my work with students: what happens when the nervous system has been living in overwhelm for too long.
In the episode “Breath, Body, and Safety: Moving from Overwhelm to Calm,” we talk about how trauma-aware yoga creates a gentler, more supportive way for people to reconnect with their bodies.
Many people think yoga is about flexibility or difficult poses. But for someone whose nervous system has been stuck in stress or survival mode, the real work often begins with something much simpler: learning how to feel safe in your body again.
In this conversation we explore:
• how breath influences the nervous system
• why slowing down can actually help us move forward
• and how small, mindful movements can create a sense of grounding and resilience
I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this work and to talk about how yoga can support people through stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
🎧 The episode is available now on Mindfulness in Motion.
