Levity on the Healing Journey: Mindfulness, Movement, and the “Cosmic Giggle” — with Veronique Ory
On this Healing Horizons episode, we unpack how levity, mindful movement, and storytelling accelerate healing without glorifying struggle. Veronique Ory—yoga teacher, retreat leader, and author of “Shine On and Off the Mat”—explains why taking ourselves less seriously interrupts loops of overwork, perfectionism, and rumination. We discuss playful somatic resets, designing practice to fit your season (not the other way around), and how “place, people, and practice” together create safety and sustainable change. If you’ve felt stuck in heavy self-work, this conversation offers grounded ways to lighten the load while staying intentional.
About the guest :
Veronique Ory is an intuitive movement and mindful awareness guide. Through yoga, storytelling, retreats, and her book “Shine On and Off the Mat,” she helps people craft practices that are flexible, creative, and compassionate—on and off the mat.
Key takeaways :
Levity isn’t avoidance; it’s a tool that breaks rigid “self-work” loops and opens access to curiosity, joy, and change.
Language matters: shifting from “work on myself” to “attune to myself” reduces heaviness and shame.
Playful somatic resets (like intentional “tantrum” shakes on the floor) can transmute stuck emotion and interrupt rumination.
Align practice to your season: choose vinyasa, yin, meditation, music, or journaling based on what your body and life actually need now.
Form is personal: adapt classical shapes (e.g., Warrior I) to your structure and history; there is no single “correct” look.
“Place, people, practice” create felt safety; retreats help remove false urgencies so integration becomes easier at home.
Patterns repeat until we respond differently; noticing the “cosmic giggle” can help you choose a new response sooner.
Practical cue: observe what you’re craving—grounding or uplift—and build a short, doable practice around that intention.
