Healing Through Yoga Therapy with Katie Leasor
What does it take to truly tune into yourself and trust your inner voice?
In this episode, I sit down with Katie Leasor—a certified yoga therapist, sound healing practitioner in training, and former college athlete turned mindfulness advocate. We dive into the transformative power of slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and embracing the healing journey that begins within.
Katie opens up about her personal story of overcoming emotional challenges, finding inner peace, and transforming pain into purpose through yoga therapy and somatic healing. We unpack what makes yoga therapy so unique, why tuning into your body’s cues is crucial, and how community plays an often-overlooked role in the healing process. Whether you’re curious about yoga, searching for balance, or navigating your own self-discovery, this episode will inspire you to see that healing is possible—and it starts with you.
Topics We Cover in This Episode:
- The difference between yoga therapy and traditional yoga classes
- How your body holds onto emotional pain and how to begin releasing it
- A surprising perspective on how social media impacts community and connection
- The role of the “inner witness” in self-awareness and healing
