What if healing anxiety and trauma starts not in the mind—but in the body?
In this deeply grounded episode, Barb speaks with Annie Au, a YouTuber and somatic yoga instructor, about nervous system healing, the vagus nerve, and how somatic yoga helps the body feel safe again.
Annie shares her personal journey from professional dancer to global yoga teacher, and how years of physical injury, emotional heartbreak, and anxiety led her to somatic healing. Together, they explore how trauma is stored in the body, why talk therapy isn’t always enough, and how bottom-up practices calm the nervous system.
