The Somatic Revolution: How Tara Newbigging & The b. class® Are Awakening a New Era of Feminine Power

1 hour 8 minutes

What if your body already holds the wisdom your mind is searching for? In this deeply moving episode of Unleashed & Empowered, I’m joined by Tara Newbigging—soul coach, spiritual visionary, and the creator of The b. class®. What began as a Zumba class in Northern Canada has now become a global somatic movement that is reconnecting women to their joy, power, and spiritual truth.

Tara shares the untold story of how The b. class® was born—from heartbreak and deep spiritual nudges, to leading 100+ instructors across Canada, the US, and Australia. We dive into how somatic movement is creating healing at a cellular level, why The b. class® is more than fitness, and how your body can become your guide when your spirit is ready to lead.

This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a permission slip to move, feel, and remember who you are.
