Episode 20: Radical Embodiment with Elle Johnston
Do you ever feel like you are ruminating in just your brain space? How do you really know how you feel about something, with a capital K? Discover the difference between brain thinking and embodiment in my chat with Elle Bower Johnston.
The world we live in is very CIS heteronormative and patriarchally driven, valuing mind-first ways of thinking. Yoga brought Elle to radical embodiment work, acknowledging all the ways our body intersects with the world that we live in. Listen in to hear why it’s essential to do the work and listen to your body’s wisdom.
