Reclaim your body: the healing power of somatic movement with Gabi Varga | Ep 171

What does it truly mean to feel safe in your body? In this deeply grounding episode, we sit down with Gabi Varga, a trauma-informed personal trainer whose approach to movement is rooted in the healing power of somatics and trauma-informed tools.Gabi shares her journey from traditional fitness coaching in Hungary and Canada to becoming a guide for those navigating trauma, emotional stress, and disconnection from their bodies.We explore how somatic practices—focused on body awareness and emotional presence—can transform not just our workouts but our overall relationship with movement and self.Gabi explains how trauma lives in the body, how patterns of overtraining and people-pleasing often mask deeper wounds, and why offering clients autonomy and empathy is essential to real healing.This conversation is a powerful reminder that fitness isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, energetic, and deeply personal.Whether you’re new to somatics or curious about integrating trauma-informed practices into your own life, this episode will offer both insight and inspiration.🔗 Connect with Gabi online:Website www.thetraumainformedpt.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetraumainformedpt/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thetraumainformedptLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thetraumainformedpt* * *Check out our Patreon for exclusive bonus content and gold nuggets from this episode: www.patreon.com/c/IntoYourLifeWatch the podcast on YouTube here: https://bit.ly/IYLPodcastYouTubeAnd don't forget to subscribe to our fortnightly newsletter to receive insights on how to find more life in your life from our amazing guests: https://intoyourlifepodcast.com/newsletter
