Healing Divorce Trauma Through Yoga: Finding Peace and Balance After Separation
What if your body has been holding onto trauma long after your mind thinks you’ve healed?
In this powerful conversation, Michelle Dempsey-Multack sits down with Janine Forte, founder of One Yoga International™, to explore the science and soul of releasing stored trauma through yoga, mindfulness, and somatic healing. From understanding how “the issues are in the tissues” to learning gentle, accessible ways to reconnect with your body, this episode offers hope, tools, and inspiration for anyone seeking to heal from the inside out.
What You’ll Learn:
Why traditional talk therapy alone may not resolve trauma without addressing the body.
How trauma hides in physical tension, especially in the hips and shoulders, and how yoga can release it.
The Breathe–Move–Release Method for shifting out of fight-or-flight mode and into nervous system regulation.
Practical daily rituals to build trust with your body after trauma or toxic relationships.
How self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy expand when you “start by stopping.”
Episode Highlights:
03:41 – The moment Janine realized she was taking care of her head but not her body
12:15 – Why yoga can trigger emotional release, and why that’s a good thing
21:04 – “The issues are in the tissues”: understanding trauma stored in the hips and shoulders
36:22 – Janine’s health scare that led to a radical life change and self-healing
48:09 – Simple 5-minute morning rituals to reconnect with your body
53:30 – How yoga dismantles ego and builds self-compassion
58:41 – The vision behind One Yoga International™ and its global retreats
Meet the Guest:
Janine Forte is a mindfulness teacher, yoga and meditation instructor, and the founder of One Yoga International™, a global platform offering in-person and online classes, transformational retreats, and a soon-to-launch 200-hour yoga teacher training. Her work supports a worldwide community dedicated to personal growth, healing, and conscious living.
Tools, Frameworks, and Strategies Mentioned
