Today, we talk with parenting coach, former Special Education teacher, and yoga therapist Yael Sunshine. Yael emphasizes a somatic focus for parents and teachers as we support our children and students in their learning and relating. We talk about ‘the hen house’ of the mind when the nervous system is unregulated. We talk about the unique needs of all children and the unlocking of potential when those needs are met. We talk about music, breathwork, and movement as integral to the stillness and focus that some learning and practices require. Yael can be reached at her website: www.yaelsunshine.com/

THE Dear Body BODCAST

Somatic stories and wisdom.

On The Dear Body Bodcast 

we interview people from diverse backgrounds 

about the body 

in context

in life

in the struggle

in liberation

At work

at play

in the systems

in the wild 

The Bodcast honors the body

as a voice of connection

A portal to the Great Mystery and Spirit

A being of deep knowing and truth

As a primary ally in the quest for real sanity, sustainability, justice, and truth

In Episode 3, we speak with San Francisco Bay Area Poet, Paul Corman Roberts, about his work as a poet and poetry community organizer in the body personal and collective. Paul shares two original works, including his response poem, 'Wild Goose," and curates a poem by Andrea Gibson.

This week we are so fortunate to talk with Danielle YS.  Danielle helps women healers and coaches create their own modality so their business stops feeling like a box — and starts feeling like freedom. We talk with her about her journey as a high achiever herself and her deep appreciation for the body as a guide into greater generativity, freedom, grace, and joy.

We briefly touch on 'cat jazz' for a moment too :p
