Trauma Informed Yoga with Nicole Byars

There's no version of me that want's to be in a hot, sweaty room with strangers telling me what I'm doing wrong.

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. 

My guest today is Nicole Byars. Nicole owns a yoga studio where she specializes in teaching trauma informed yoga. It's much more about getting back in touch with all of the parts of you that you have numbed over the years, with none of the unpleasant sweat box environments or physical contact with others. I actually think I'm going to try it a bit after having done this interview, because I think we all sort of fall out of sync with ourselves overtime, even if it's just a tiny bit per week, month, or year.

If you can't hear it, I'm sick again! This time with RSV. So I hit the respiratory triad just in time to see 2023 ride into the sunset. I also figured you want to hear as little of this voice as possible, so I'm doing a regular episode and I'll do the wrap up on 2023 after the interview is over if any hardcore fans actually want to hear that. Let's get back in touch with our bodies!

This is the first episode of the new year. Hopefully it's the the tip of the inspiration iceberg for those of you planning to better yourself this year!
