Episode 4 | Whole Self Education & Yoga Therapy
Welcome!
Awareness. Integration. Healing at the pace of the body.
In this episode of the Soma Moon Wellness podcast, co-founders Stephanie Woods and Jeanetta Bodie dive into the heart of Soma Moon’s Whole Self Education pillar, with a deep focus on yoga therapy, pelvic health, nervous system awareness, and embodied self-study.
This conversation is honest, tender, and deeply human. It explores what happens when we stop outsourcing our knowing and begin restoring communication with our bodies—especially in places shaped by stress, shame, trauma, or silence.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by “doing it right,” or unsure how to integrate clinical health information into real life, this episode offers grounding clarity and compassion.
In This Episode, We Explore:
Why Soma Moon’s work is experiential first—lived before it’s taught
What “Whole Self Education” actually means in practice
How awareness (not fixing) is the foundation of healing
Why pelvic floor health is about more than muscles—it’s about nervous system safety, emotion, and identity
How yoga therapy differs from exercise-based yoga classes
The power of asking two simple questions:
What am I feeling? and What has my attention?How shame, fear, and old narratives live in the body—and how they soften through embodied practice
Why healing is never one-and-done, but a process of returning, revisiting, and re-learning
What Is Yoga Therapy at Soma Moon?
Yoga therapy at Soma Moon Wellness is a relational, nervous-system-informed practice that uses:
Movement
Breath awareness
Self-inquiry
Education
Somatic tools
Not to fix or override the body—but to restore communication, resilience, and trust.
This work honors that:
The body sets the pace
Safety comes before story
Healing happens through integration, not force
Education empowers choice, not dependency
Yoga therapy is where anatomy, nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, lived experience, and real life meet.
Themes Woven Throughout the Conversation
Awareness creates choice — you cannot change what you cannot feel
The body holds history — stress, grief, trauma, and identity live in sensation
Discomfort isn’t danger — learning to stay present changes everything
Embodiment builds leadership — finding your voice begins in the body
Healing is relational — with yourself, your body, and others
This episode also includes vulnerable reflections on:
Learning differences and reclaiming voice
Productivity, people-pleasing, and self-worth
Women’s health moving from “niche” to necessary
Integrating pelvic health knowledge into messy, real life

and trusting that your body already knows the way forward.

Ask honest questions
Learn at your own pace
