Podcasts about Bodywork

In this episode, Alex talks with Charna Cassell, a Trauma-Trained Psychotherapist and Sexuality Coach  from Oakland who combines somatic coaching, bodywork, and energy medicine in her practice. Charna explains why talk therapy often fails to create change in trauma recovery, and how physical practices can transform the nervous system in ways cognitive understanding cannot.Charna shares her journey through "boundary bootcamp" at Good Vibrations and her training at the Strozzi Institute. "I really needed physical practice," she says about why ten years of talk therapy created awareness but didn't change her nervous system responses.Throughout the conversation, Charna demonstrates somatic exercises that reveal embodied habits. She explains how our bodies show our patterns under minimal stress and introduces the concept that "until you have an embodied No, you can't have a genuine Yes." The episode covers how repetition creates new neural pathways—like a deer path that becomes visible after being walked repeatedly—and how practice transforms boundaries from rigid or absent to compassionate.Key Highlights: 00:00 Introduction to Charna04:06 Boundary bootcamp experience10:15 Strozzi Institute training14:47 Current practice overview18:36 Contact exercise demonstration24:02 Freeze response explained27:45 Boundary progression stages31:42 Healing relationship boundaries33:16 Bodywork benefits described37:54 Kundalini yoga journey40:31 Managing collective fear42:27 Breath of fire technique44:04 Ways to work with CharnaLinks & ResourcesWebsite: https://charnacassell.com/Website:https://passionatelife.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laidopenpodcastFacebookL: https://www.facebook.com/LaidOpenPodcast/ Podcast: https://charnacassell.com/laidopen/Find us Online: Sign up for our newsletter to learn more about the power of embodiment:https://www.redbeardsomatictherapy.com/Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RedBeardSomaticTherapyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/redbeardsomatictherapyLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandermgreene

"As we close this transformative season, I find myself in deep gratitude for the journey we've shared. We have had so many incredible guests, and reflecting on it all fills me with appreciation for this work and the community we've built.As I write this, I'm in my birthday week—this episode won't air for another month, but I'm in a deeply reflective state. A solar eclipse is approaching, and Saturn is entering Pisces for the first time in 30 years—a profound cosmic shift and an equally significant moment in my personal Vedic chart.In this episode, Erin and I reunite after a month to explore the theme of community and its role in personal growth. This podcast has become a bridge for meaningful connections, and the joy it brings us is immeasurable. We dive into embracing AI as a tool, my preparations for speaking at the NAMA conference in May, redefining leadership through the lens of the Divine Feminine, and why we dedicated much of this season to the foundations of subtle anatomy—the koshas and the chakras. We also explore intuition in decision-making, practices for mental clarity, and the journey of reparenting our inner child. And of course, we look ahead to the magic that awaits us in Season 7.While we're excited for what the future holds, we're also pausing to stand at this summit, taking in the breathtaking view of how far we've come. We started this season in India. We launched our YouTube channel. We surpassed 10,000 downloads. We turned three. We welcomed two renowned Ayurveda Gurus—Dr. Ramkumar and Dr. J. We collaborated with inspiring experts across Ayurveda, Jyotish, Yoga, Bodywork, Birth work, and Entrepreneurship. Teaching this knowledge week after week, month after month, has been profoundly rewarding. We hear from listeners around the world about how this show is changing their lives, and it fuels us to keep going.This show continues to find those who need it, and our prayer is that it always does. May we keep meeting in this space—growing, learning, and evolving together. Here's to Season 7 and beyond.

Yasmin Stuart is a renowned Equine Physiotherapist and Trauma Informed Horse Trainer based in the UK. In 2016, Yasmin completed her Level 6 Diploma in Equine Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation and has since gone on to study a variety of different bodywork and training methodologies which now underpin her practice. Over the course of her career, she has developed an extensive understanding of behavioural science, posture and biomechanics of which she applies to every horse that she works with - giving her success with even the most complex of cases.

It is this approach which promotes relaxation, opening a doorway into the horse's body - the results being long-lasting emotional and postural changes. Alongside travelling the UK for in-person 1:1 sessions and internationally for clinics, Yasmin also offers a range of online learning resources which include courses and monthly webinars on different topics which support an integrative approach to horsemanship.

It plays a crucial role in maintaining structural integrity, movement, and communication between different systems in the body. When fascia becomes tight, restricted, or develops adhesions due to injury, stress, poor posture, or inflammation, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.Today, Maria and Sasha sat down to explore her personal journey, and professional experience with integrative and functional bodywork. We don't shy away from the spiritual aspect of healing the body, and Maria certainly does not shy away from expressing her authentic shakti energy as she shares her wisdom.

Your body has been speaking to you—whispering, nudging, sometimes even screaming. But have you been listening?When we disconnect, whether due to trauma, societal pressures, or daily stress, we override the signals that guide us toward pleasure, safety, and alignment. This disconnection often manifests as chronic pain, anxiety, digestive issues, or even numbness.Healing doesn't come from pushing harder—it comes from allowing space, feeling into the moment, and recognizing that slowing down is actually the fastest way to true transformation. In this week's episode, Angela and I, talk about...Is your body trying to tell you something?Why do so many of us feel disconnected?What if the key to healing isn't doing more, but doing less?Could slowing down actually get you where you want to go—faster?And many more!  If you would like to connect with Kim on a complimentary discovery call and see how you can work with her, book your call here - https://calendly.com/talk-to-kim/unleash-your-unapologetic-power-now Kim will be having an in-person couples retreat soon and if you want to get more information about it, you can sign up to be part of the information waitlist and be one of the first few people who will get more details on the retreat!  Sign up here: https://get-your-sexy-back.myflodesk.com/phoenix-rising-retreats If you would want to work with her in other ways, you can also check out these other options, which might be what you are looking for ❤️ Jade Egg Program: https://getyoursexyback.ca/sexy-back-jade-egg-program/Sacred Pleasure Membership: https://getyoursexyback.ca/sacred-pleasure-membership/  About the guest ❤️Angela Rivero is a Somatic Practitioner specializing in trauma resolution, embodied spirituality, female sexuality, nervous system regulation, and chronic body symptom recovery.

This journey led her to immerse herself in modalities like Somatic Experiencing®, embodiment practices, and sensual movement—allowing her to guide women beyond survival mode into deeper vitality and well-being.Angela's work isn't about forcing change—it's about attunement, presence, and honoring the body's wisdom.

In this episode I am joined by bodyworker and healer Laura Shakeshaft. Laura is a multi-faceted practitioner who utilises her wide range of modalities to help bring balance, harmony, rhythm, and safety to horses and humans. Based in South Wales Laura has been treating my herd of horses since their move in October 2024. I have been very impressed with Laura's expanse of knowledge and experience which is why I asked her to join us on the podcast. In this episode Laura and I discuss her less well known modality - Amnanda.Amnanda is an Ayurvedic treatment combining the use of specific oil combinations, very light hands on touch, mantra, and intention. Treatments span over a period of 12 months with monthly sessions enabling the body to settle into the framework over a consistent period of time. Amnanda stems from an ancient Tibetan lineage and is a highly effective and encouraging approach to sustainable healing.Laura and I also touch on the power of cultivating safety, horses' innate healing intelligence within the body, and what is means to get out our own way when it comes to being a practitioner. As of today, Laura is the only practitioner working with animals in Europe. She is running courses in South Wales and other areas of the UK throughout the year.Thank you for listening!

What up, Beasts! Today, I'm sitting down with an absolute powerhouse in the world of bodywork, someone who's been at this game for over 30 years, way beyond the industry average. She's an integrated bodywork therapist who has combined manual therapy, movement, and a bit of witchy intuition to develop her own proprietary method for healing musculoskeletal pain at its root. We talk about how she went from working in orthopedic clinics to training other practitioners, the unexpected twists (like an HGTV moment!) that led her back to bodywork, and why longevity in this field is so rare, but totally possible when you do it right.We also dive into the mind-body connection and why blaming your muscles for your pain is basically like blaming your Wi-Fi when your laptop dies (you gotta look at the real issue). She shares how trauma, stress, and movement patterns all play a role in pain and healing, and why practitioners need to stop looking for a checklist and start truly seeing their clients. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, or if you're a movement professional who wants to help clients on a deeper level, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and get ready for some serious knowledge bombs!As always, I hope something lands with you today.

Jahrelang habe ich gedacht, mein Mindset wäre der Schlüssel zu allem. Aber dann kam mein Körper und meinte: „Hold my beer.“ Ich hatte zwar früher schon Berührungspunkte mit Energy-Healing. Doch da mein Kopf es aber nicht rational erklären konnte und innerlich die Skepsis blieb, ob das nicht alles doch HokusPokus ist, hab ich einfach das Label “Ja, alles ganz nett und kann mal machen” drauf geklebt. Damn, ich lag sowas von daneben. Als würdest du auf die schärfste Tabasco-Flasche der Welt das Etikett “gut gewürzt” drauf kleben. Untertreibung des Jahrhunderts. Ich habe mich in komplett andere Sphären geatmet, mein Körper hat sich angestaute Energien ausgeschüttelt als hätte ich einen epileptischen Anfall und meine Weiblichkeit hat mal kurzerhand ihre Ketten gesprengt und ist nun komplett entfesselt. Und es ist sowas von geil. Und das Krasseste? Mein Kopf hatte damit nichts zu tun. Willst du wissen, wie du deine eigene Energie wieder spüren kannst? Dann hör dir die neue Podcastfolge an.

Ich, die Mindset-Queen und Bezähmerin unzähliger Quatschis, muss gestehen, dass ich etwas noch viel Geileres für mich entdeckt habe. Bodywork - hätte mir jemand vor Jahren gesagt, wie genial es ist und was du mit dem Körper alles drehen, verändern und lösen kannst, hätte mein innere Schlaumeier wahrscheinlich nur skeptisch geguckt, angefeuert vom Quatschi – der sich bei solchen Gelegenheiten lauthals wieder zu Wort meldet. Versteh mich nicht falsch – Mindset-Arbeit ist superwichtig und gehört nach wie vor zu den Basics, doch was passiert ist, nachdem ich angefangen habe, mehr mit meinem Körper zu arbeiten und auf ihn zu hören, da fällste fast vom Glauben ab. Kilos sind gepurzelt, auf einmal hatte ich Energie für zehn und viele andere Effekte, für die ich mir mit Mindsetarbeit das Hirn abgearbeitet hätte. Wie genau du nun eine Connection zu deinem Körper bekommst und dein Gehirn mal schaukeln schickst, erfährst du in dem ersten Teil dieser Podcast-Folge. Alle aktuellen Infos zu mir und meinen Kursen findest du hier:  https://claudiaengel.de/links/    Ich freu mich auf dich.

It can lead to heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune issues." - Dr. Karyne Wilner [00:23:48] "I enjoyed reading the book, and I know it's 'Releasing Toxic Anger for Women,' but I tell you, after reading this, I was like, men need this as well." - Gerald J.

Juliet chats with Laura Phoenix, a writer, healer, yoga teacher, and somatic experiencing practitioner who is queer, neurodivergent, and traumatized. Their life's work is guiding people in yoga and bodywork for trauma recovery. Juliet & Laura discuss going beyond 'talk therapy' and learning to listen to our bodies that are always trying to tell us something. They connect over their shared humanity in "walking the walk" in their own mental health journeys. They dive into what somatic experiencing is and how it supplements talk therapy to help clients go deeper. It makes sense as we're WHOLE beings and can access "movement as a tool to broaden our awareness."There is lots to explore in the world of trauma and bodywork and Laura posits "isn't that where the medicine is?" regarding something specific in therapeutic work.

The morning of her our first interview, Erin received a very powerful & interesting channeled message from what referred to itself as Beings of Feminine Energy.

On this guest episode, Erin returns to share about her unique and profound experience of channeling messages from Beings of Feminine Energy & what they had to say. Essentially they offered 8 attributes or archetypes that make up the Yin or Feminine presence in our World and described them each. These 8 archetypes include Lady Peace, The Chameleon, Lady Justice, Luna, Intuition, Imagination, The Alchemist, & The Mother. Erin shares what she was told about each of these aspects of the Feminine and it was fascinating and fun to explore and consider together!

Do you ever feel like you're shaking with rage? Or do you tremble with anxiety? Because your body uses shaking as a means to release stress and trauma from the body! This is a normal response, but cultural conditioning has suppressed our natural inclination to shake off tension. It's important to care for our bodies, just as we would for pets, and learn to close the stress cycle. Somatic shaking can help.   Take a breath, give yourself a little shake, and let's talk about how:

Getting diagnosed with breast cancer is one of the most life-changing experiences a person can face—but there's power in how you choose to walk through it. Today, I'm sitting down again with my dear friend Dr. Filomena Trindade, an incredible physician and a pioneer in Integrative and Functional Medicine, who faced her own battle with Stage 4 breast cancer and chose an incredible path blending traditional and holistic treatments. From vitamin C and artemisinin, she shares her journey of healing and how she created a body environment that was less welcoming to cancer. It's a beautiful conversation about trusting your gut, honoring your body's needs, and exploring every option with an open mind.   Dr. Filomena's journey reveals the importance of listening to your intuition and building a strong support network to uplift you every step of the way. She's faced conventional treatments too, balancing them with holistic practices that kept her grounded and connected to her health goals. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is deeply personal and that there's no one “right” way to find wellness. If you or a loved one are navigating health challenges, this episode will leave you feeling empowered and ready to think differently about what's possible.   Also, for any woman who's over aged 50 and struggling with hormonal hair loss like I did, I created a formula called Beauty Locks that is designed to promote hair growth and hair quality.

Well, it's getting to be that time of life when I begin to realize that I'm mortal. Next year I turn 60, which, according to the Jewish blessing "May you live to a hundred and twenty," puts me smack dab in middle age.I've been whole food plant-based for decades, and I'm pretty athletic. I meditate, and I keep a journal just in case I ever get the urge to write in it. I drink water, avoid tobacco products, drink about a quart of alcohol a year, and wear a bike helmet.So you'd think that I'd be going into the second half of life all guns a-blazing, ready to tackle any and all challenges.But you'd be wrong.The area where I'm weakest is flexibility.I'm working harder and harder to put my socks on. When I'm playing Ultimate or Padel, I have trouble bending down to catch a disc or return a ball.I'm worried about turning into a caricature of an old man: shuffling around, complaining about the weather and my rheumatism.I decided to do something about it.Maybe I even mentioned this to my wife, because in no time my Facebook feed was swollen with ads for online stretching programs.One caught my eye, because the presenter seemed real and down-to-earth. So I bought a "Science of Stretching" course from Lucas Rockwood, founder of YogaBody.Then I realized that I knew Lucas.In fact, he'd hosted me on his Age Less / Live More Podcast way back in March, 2014, where I talked about my goal of turning the world into a giant food forest. (Ah, permaculture :).We'd first met, in fact, about 8 years before that, when we were both learning the ins and outs of digital marketing.And one thing that caught my eye was that Lucas had settled in Barcelona, less than 30 km from where I live. So I reached out, and he graciously agreed to be a guest on Plant Yourself. I shlepped my recording equipment into the city, and we met at his studio and had a really good conversation.Mostly we talk about how to maintain healthspan, particularly in the second half of life.Lucas shares lots of valuable insights:how our athleticism might evolve as we agethe balance between training and injury preventionhow to get the benefits of yoga if someone (ahem) isn't crazy about actually doing yogathe power of intentional breath practices for regulating the nervous systemthe science of flexibility training (and why it's more or less unknown in most gyms)Lucas gives us the three principles of flexibility practice, and shares why most of the stretching we do doesn't actually increase our range of motion.And he shares three types of breathing and how to apply each one in practice and in daily life.We also cover some of the problems in the yoga community, including sexual exploitation. As you can see, our "range of conversation" parallels Lucas' own range of motion, and hopefully the one that I'm developing as I continue to deepen my own practice.If you plan on living a full and vibrant life, and you're approaching A Certain Age, this episode may serve you — as it did me — as a wakeup call.LinksYogaBody.comLucas' Age Less / Live More PodcastMy appearance on the Age Less / Live More PodcastJob's Body: A Handbook for Bodywork, by Dean Juhan
