Meet Ashley Shoemaker, a yoga enthusiast and instructor, whose inspiring story of transformation through yoga and sound healing has touched countless lives. Ashley's journey with yoga began as a quest for self-healing and quickly transformed into a passion for helping others. Overcoming personal struggles with addiction, Ashley used yoga as a form of therapy and a tool to regain control of her life. Her experiences with injury recovery further deepened her understanding of the healing properties of yoga, particularly after a challenging ACL recovery. Alongside yoga, Ashley has explored the realm of sound healing, which has greatly influenced her approach to wellness. Committed to service, Ashley uses her knowledge and experience to guide others on their own healing journeys. We are so excited to get to hear her journey with yoga and her story!

It seems like nowadays more and more people are identifying as ADHD and Autistic. Is it really that people used to not have ADHD? Are we just more educated now with more tools? Could our attention spans be decreasing. Is all of this a trauma response? How do you get tested, and how can you know if you really have ADHD? If you do have it, how do you manage it, when do you know you need medication, can you manage it with just lifestyle changes? It can be an overwhelming topic to handle - and with all the information being spread online, it gets so confusing. If you find that you can't manage your attention, or you want to find a way to support those in your life who are neurodivergent, this conversation is for you. We answer all of the questions YOU send in on this episode. Listen to this conversation with Dr. O.

"Move the body first; then, the understanding will come."

In this week's episode, we unpack the power of dance and yoga in connecting back to yourself, releasing trauma stored in the body, and its therapeutic effects. Karla shares about how incorporating movement into our daily routines can empower us towards healing and restoration.

Karla Parbon is a Doctoral Candidate at Gonzaga University, where she is studying how to apply the concept of how movement can be a source for healing and restoration for the individual and collective – blending art, spirituality, and the human experience. She also specializes in somatic movement methods, including Alexander Technique, Laban Movement Analysis, and the Feldenkrais Method. This episode goes deep into the science and also the practical applications of the therapeutic effects of movement and energy.

In a society that says playing and dancing is just for kids, would you believe studies show that incorporating dance and play in the lives of adults can have the same or better outcomes than anti-depression medication?

Listen to this episode and explore the science behind movement and creative expression. It may be time to turn on the music and channel your inner child!
