Welcome!

Awareness. Integration. Healing at the pace of the body.

In this episode of the Soma Moon Wellness podcast, co-founders Stephanie Woods and Jeanetta Bodie dive into the heart of Soma Moon’s Whole Self Education pillar, with a deep focus on yoga therapy, pelvic health, nervous system awareness, and embodied self-study.

This conversation is honest, tender, and deeply human. It explores what happens when we stop outsourcing our knowing and begin restoring communication with our bodies—especially in places shaped by stress, shame, trauma, or silence.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by “doing it right,” or unsure how to integrate clinical health information into real life, this episode offers grounding clarity and compassion.

In This Episode, We Explore:

Why Soma Moon’s work is experiential first—lived before it’s taught

What “Whole Self Education” actually means in practice

How awareness (not fixing) is the foundation of healing

Why pelvic floor health is about more than muscles—it’s about nervous system safety, emotion, and identity

How yoga therapy differs from exercise-based yoga classes

The power of asking two simple questions:
What am I feeling? and What has my attention?

How shame, fear, and old narratives live in the body—and how they soften through embodied practice

Why healing is never one-and-done, but a process of returning, revisiting, and re-learning

What Is Yoga Therapy at Soma Moon?

Yoga therapy at Soma Moon Wellness is a relational, nervous-system-informed practice that uses:

Movement

Breath awareness

Self-inquiry

Education

Somatic tools

Not to fix or override the body—but to restore communication, resilience, and trust.

This work honors that:

The body sets the pace

Safety comes before story

Healing happens through integration, not force

Education empowers choice, not dependency

Yoga therapy is where anatomy, nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, lived experience, and real life meet.

Themes Woven Throughout the Conversation

Awareness creates choice — you cannot change what you cannot feel

The body holds history — stress, grief, trauma, and identity live in sensation

Discomfort isn’t danger — learning to stay present changes everything

Embodiment builds leadership — finding your voice begins in the body

Healing is relational — with yourself, your body, and others

This episode also includes vulnerable reflections on:

Learning differences and reclaiming voice

Productivity, people-pleasing, and self-worth

Women’s health moving from “niche” to necessary

Integrating pelvic health knowledge into messy, real life

Ways to Work With Jeanetta

This episode outlines three accessible pathways:

1. Private Yoga Therapy Sessions (1:1 support)

2. Empower Your Core — a self-paced, integrative pelvic floor and nervous system course

3. Live Pelvic Health Yoga Classes & Workshops (via Substack and Zoom)

Each option supports awareness, education, and embodiment—without urgency or pressure.

An Invitation

You are not broken.

You are not behind.

And you don’t need more intensity.

This work is about slowing down enough to listen—

and trusting that your body already knows the way forward.

You’re invited to:

Ask honest questions

Learn at your own pace

Reconnect with your body with curiosity, not judgment

Build strength, clarity, and resilience from the inside out
