“Unless we transform the wounds of oppression in our own bodies and then by extension into our own embodied relationships with others...no amount of macro-sociological institutional legislative change will last because we keep producing the inequities at the grass roots levels.”

In this episode, we discuss:

\\n
1. Personal experience always emerges out of socio-economic context
\\n
2. Importance of joining the personal with the professional
\\n
3. Moving past oppressors vs. oppressed and finding a common ground about our pain
\\n
4. Somatic literacy and illiteracy, cultivating somatic intelligence
\\n
5. Not all yoga is somatic – feeling yourself from the inside out
