How does your body hold onto the past?
Tension builds up in ways we rarely notice. A difficult conversation, an unresolved moment, an unspoken thought—these do not just live in the mind. They settle into the body. They change the way we breathe, how we hold ourselves, how we move through the world.
In my latest YouTube video, I guide you through a somatic meditation practice to soften the tension your body is carrying. Whether it comes from stress, rupture, or an event that left you unsettled, this is an invitation to let go without forcing, to release without pushing, and to expand without resistance.
Where Do You Hold Stress?
Take a moment right now to check in.
Where is there tightness in your body?
What happens when you simply notice it without trying to change it?
Can you feel a part of your body that is at ease, even if small?
This practice is not about pushing tension away. It is about letting the part of you that already knows ease meet the part of you that is holding. It is about creating space for your body to process what it needs, so it can return to its natural rhythm.
Your Posture is a Reflection of Your Nervous System
The way you hold yourself in this moment is not just posture—it is a reflection of how your body has adapted to stress and conditioning over time.
If you have spent years carrying tension, shrinking in moments of stress, or feeling disconnected from your physical presence, now is the time to shift that.
This is why I created the 40 Day Posture Bootcamp.
This program is not about rigidly fixing how you stand. It is about retraining your body to hold confidence, ease, and resilience from the inside out.
You will learn how to:
Release built-up tension that keeps you stuck in old patterns
Develop a posture that supports your nervous system, not works against it
Move from a place of presence rather than unconscious holding
If this resonates with you, the 40 Day Posture Bootcamp starts May 1st.

Your body is always speaking to you. The more you listen, the more you can live fully in it.
