Creating Community & Connecting back to the Body through Somatic Therapy with Rachel Friedman

In today's episode I sit down with Rachel Friedman, MSW, ERYT
500, YACEP, founded the Somatic Coach School, Beyond The Yoga
Mat, and Soma Power Yoga where she helps people learn how to
elevate their lives through the power of yoga and somatics. She
also supports yoga facilitators, therapists, coaches, and healers
to integrate somatic skills into their practice and build a
conscious-based business to provide life-changing results for
their clients.

Together we discuss:

somatic therapy

Owning a Yoga studio three times and what she has learned

What to look for in a business partnership and the importance
of highlighting your own strengths, weaknesses and work ethic

Benefit of learning basic business skills for owning a yoga
studio 

Rachel’s number one tool for creating a profitable yoga
studio is community 

Transition into somatic work and how it is different from
traditional therapy

Understanding why we are so disconnected from our bodies

Learning to process emotions and orient oneself

Importance of pausing and having reflection

Rachel believes our bodies hold the wisdom and medicine we need
to heal and live an incredible human experience — one where we
learn to feel all emotions.  You can find her on instagram
