About This Episode

Discover how Hanna Somatics can reset your body – and even your dog’s or horse’s – by simply inviting muscle release rather than forcing movement. In this solo episode, I share my week-long journey with Alison Mayer, the science behind motor-cortex signaling, and the unexpected breakthroughs I experienced: from perfecting my posture to finally feeling “full” at dinner after years of bulimia.

Plus, learn how you can translate these gentle somatic movements into everyday life – whether you’re at your desk, leading a team, or working with your animal partner.
