In this episode of Get In, I sit down with Bobbie Ellis — Continuum teacher, somatic yoga guide, movement therapist, and embodiment coach — for a deep dive into the art of trusting the body.

With over four decades of experience guiding people into deeper awareness, Bobbie invites us to explore trust as more than an idea — as a felt, lived experience. From her transformative encounter with Continuum after a life-changing skiing accident, to her fusion of yoga, movement, and fluid body awareness, Bobbie reveals how the body's innate intelligence can become our most faithful guide.

Together, we explore how sensing precedes alignment, why creativity and self-agency are essential to embodiment, and how gravity and space can become playful partners in movement. Whether you're new to somatic practice or seeking to deepen your connection, this conversation will inspire you to return to the quiet, knowing voice within — and trust it.

Listen in and rediscover your body as an unshakable source of truth, meaning, and home.

In this episode, I sit down with Nia Trainer Britta von Tagen to explore her newest choreography, Ocean.

Rooted in her decades of Nia practice, her background in education, and her Black Belt mastery in Tai Chi and Kung Fu, Britta brings a depth of somatic knowledge and a love for the Earth's waters into her movement art. Ocean is more than choreography—it is a meditation on fluidity, resilience, and care for life.

Together, we reflect on what it means to move like water, sense the athleticism of the body, and use Nia as a restorative system that prepares us for life with grace, joy, and strength.
