I've been on a mission to feel better for quite some time and have come to develop my own signature restorative reading, writing and yoga practice that calms my nervous system and invites me into deeper wellbeing and growth. Brett's teachings have been an instrumental part of that journey, but this book has brought my own understanding, practice and public work to new levels. Things that weren't quite working, settling or landing are now making sense and making a difference. Leaning into somatic practices and more importantly, taking them OFF the mat, has been a game-changer. Once again, Brett has lit a spark in me and this book can in you, too. You'll feel seen, heard, understood and loved inside the pages.
