What does it actually take to end the war with your body?

Anna Guest-Jelley — founder of Curvy Yoga — joins somatic yoga therapist Keri Marino for a deeply honest conversation. From childhood Weight Watchers meetings and chronic migraines to building a yoga community that finally made women feel welcome in their own skin.

They talk about body acceptance as an active daily practice, what yoga actually does for a woman's relationship with herself over time and what it looks like to become audaciously whole — not by changing your body but by coming home to it.

Let's be honest, sometimes yoga can feel boring. And ironically, that might be exactly what you are needing. Especially if you are a woman who is prone towards fight or flight, leads a demanding lifestyle or prefers to "keep moving."

In this episode, somatic yoga therapist Keri Marino talks about the healing power of slow, contemplative yoga practice and how it gives you something more active styles never could.

She'll uncover the real medicine a yoga practice can provide and the mindset shifts that will help you stop avoiding and start leaning into your practice.

What does trauma-informed yoga actually mean — and does all yoga heal, or can some of it hurt?

In this episode somatic yoga therapist Keri Marino sits down with Liz Albanis, Australian yoga therapist and host of the Yoga for Trauma: The Inner Fire of Yoga Podcast, for one of the most honest conversations this show has had about trauma, the body and what healing with yoga actually looks like.

They cover what trauma really is beyond the dramatic version, why not all yoga is created equal for trauma recovery, the red flags to watch for in yoga spaces, what a genuinely supportive practice actually feels like from the inside — and where these two experienced practitioners see things differently.

If you're looking for an honest, expert take on how to heal through a yogic based approach. This one is for you.

If you've ever wondered where the chronic tightness in your shoulders comes from, the mirror you'd rather avoid or the pleasure you can't fully open up to receive - it could be because your body is holding onto something to protect you (like it needed to in the past.)

The reality is, so much of how you've thought about and experienced your body - is rooted in trauma and adaptive patterns.

But a conscious, loving relationship with your body in the here and now isn't guided by protective habits alone, it's also resourced in soul alignment, you standing in your power and a nervous system that can hold goodness too.

In this episode, we'll unpack how trauma impacts your body and what it looks like to heal deeply - in a holistic yoga therapy based method.

Jessica Erlendson is a yoga therapist and menopause educator from Calgary — and she is one of those women who has taken the hardest parts of her life and turned them into something that genuinely helping others thrive.

In this conversation we talk about leaving a domestic violence situation at 21 and pregnant, how learning became her form of freedom, what yoga therapy actually looks like when it meets a real woman exactly where she is, and why being comfortable in a restorative yoga pose is not a small thing — it might be the whole point.

This one is warm, honest and a little unexpected. I think you're going to love her. 🕯️

I almost didn't make this episode. It's the most personal thing I've shared in a while — and at one point I just stopped and cried, right there into the mic. This is me working through a paradigm shift I've been sitting in for months: owning that after seventeen years, I'm not a beginner yoga therapist figuring it out anymore. I'm a senior one. And that comes with a responsibility I've been hesitant to fully claim — to speak honestly about what's happened to yoga over the last twenty years, as it moved from weird and deep to widely available, and in that spread, became diluted. Surface level. Fitness oriented. A stress reliever you do for 15 minutes and forget.

In this episode I talk about why yoga has always been about healing and integration, not just exercise — and why, in a world accelerating into AI and disconnection, we need practices that turn us inward more than ever. I talk about devotion. About what it means to actually identify as a woman who practices — not occasionally, but as a real part of who you are, with a system and a village around you that helps you fill the gaps when life gets hard. This one is raw, it's honest, and I think it might be exactly what some of you have been needing to hear.
