In this episode, Edward Clark and Laurie Greene go deep on somatic intelligence and why your body makes your mind. We explore how sensation becomes meaning, why intuition is powerful but not perfect, and how fear and intensity can sharpen awareness rather than shut it down. They challenge the trend toward risk averse yoga and make the case for yoga as living art, where beauty is experienced through the body, not analyzed in the head. We talk about trauma and beauty showing up together, becoming connoisseurs of consciousness, and simple ways to practice embodiment every day. You will also hear a future facing vision of yoga that blends movement, music, and light using motion sensors. The episode ends with a practical five senses exercise you can try this week.
