Episode 27 | Breath, Body, and Grief: Finding Safety After Loss with Kelsey Gassner

June 26, 2025 • Alexa Conlon • Episode 27

In this heartfelt and healing episode, we sit down with Kelsey Gassner, Owner of Redefined Yoga, a somatic yoga guide who shares her powerful journey of navigating the deep grief of losing her partner—and how that loss became the catalyst for discovering somatic movement and yoga as a path toward embodied healing. Rooted in trauma-informed practice, her story invites listeners into a conversation about how the body holds and processes grief, and how reconnecting with the breath, sensation, and presence can support emotional release and resilience.

Together, we explore what it means to feel safe in your body after trauma, the role of nervous system regulation in grief recovery, and how somatic yoga can be both a sanctuary and a bridge back to self. Whether you're carrying your own loss or supporting someone through theirs, this episode offers grounding insights and gentle encouragement for the healing journey.
