We have been diving more and more into the holistic approaches that are commonly used, highly powerful and also rather unknown. There is so much to dive into when it comes to this topic and what avenues there are to explore.

In today’s episode we have a special guest, Gloria Hester, with us to talk about her work as a somatic educator and yoga therapist for both humans and animals. Gloria has such a beautiful way of unpacking so much knowledge when it comes to the somatic field and such a warm spirit. She breaks down so much wonderful information and she walks us through some simple somatic exercises to give you a place to start practicing now in your life.

Listen along so you can learn:

In the somatic field you're working with the sensory system as well as the motor system. This requires a lot of re-educating the sensory system and the nervous system. Somatic education gives your brain and body the ability to communicate freely.
