Trauma Recovery With Intelligent Movement Anna Rahe | Ep 33

Liz Albanis continues her conversation with Anna Rahe. Exploring fascia, the body-wide tissue network that changes how we understand trauma. Chronic stress, pain, and even the way we cue “good form” in movement practices. Why trauma is not only something we carry in the mind, but something that can be reflected in tissue tone, breath patterns, and protective shapes driven by stress hormones.   If you’ve ever left a yoga, pilates or fitness class feeling more tense than when you walked in. This conversation puts words and physiology to that experienceTrauma as physiology and tissue patterning, not just mindset Why stress chemicals drive protective contraction through breath, ribs, and spine Cueing in Pilates and Yoga that can mimic a stress state Why muscle-dominant training may keep the nervous system on high alert.Fascia-first movement as a whole-body approach to pain, migraines, and regulation Fascia as “tubes not sticks” as a simple body map for safer practice Why to avoid diagnosing where trauma is “stored” Quiet unwinding versus chasing catharsis and performance release The limits of psoas obsession and the role of the thoracolumbar fascia and adrenal belt Why myof-ascia only thinking can repeat old medical silos why changes in breathing, organs, and head pain can be connected through the same system.  Tips for teachers: internal movement under the pose, interoception, traction, and length-based strength Honesty about the current hype around somatic releasewhy big cathartic experiences aren’t automatically healing and how quiet unwinding can be more stabilisingWhy teachers need to stay inside scope when working with trauma-informed yoga.Practical ways to practise yoga that keeps the body open, supple, and steady. About Anna: is a leading innovator in the health and wellness industry, with over 25 years of pioneering work in fascia science.
