In this episode of Hard Beautiful Journey, I sit down with my longtime friend, Holli Hoffarth, a yoga instructor and somatic therapist-in-training. We dive deep into the powerful connection between our physical bodies and emotional well-being, discussing how trauma is stored in the body and how somatic practices like yoga and neurogenic tremors can help release deeply held tension.

Holli shares her own personal healing journey, from overcoming a major health setback after a hysterectomy to finding a deeper connection between the body and mind. She provides profound insights into how we can begin to Honour Our Bodies by tuning into our breath, listening to our body's signals, and letting go of tension and stress.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or want to explore the ways in which physical movement and breath can lead to emotional healing, this episode is a must-listen.

Key Takeaways:

• How trauma lives in the body and can manifest as physical pain
• The role of breathwork in regulating emotions and healing
