Episode 22: The power of moving into the space of unspoken knowing - Gary Carter.
Hello and welcome to The Breathing Body Podcast - My name is Flurina and I am your host, and I am so happy that you are here.
Today's episode is another one of my `root teachers`- series: In 2017 I went to Goa to participate in a Scaravelli-inspired yoga teacher training with Helen Noakes, who was guest on the podcast too (see episode 4). During this training I met Gary Carter, who taught us anatomy and movement - and I can't put in words what happened with me when I sat there on the sandy Shala ground and witnessed how my own horizon got pulled wide open and I came to acknowledge that my body is so much more I would ever have thought. Yes, studying with Gary is breath-taking and so is this episode. This episode is for YOU if you would like to explore how studying the miraculous nature of your body changes the way we move and use our body - and is a direct invitation to heal.
