Yoga, Internal Family Systems and Buddhist Psychology — This is Yoga Therapy Podcast
In this conversation, we explore the terrain of inner coherence through the meeting place of Yin Yoga, Buddhist psychology, and Internal Family Systems. Practice becomes a space of inquiry where the body reveals the movements of the inner world and where our many inner parts can be met with patience and clarity.
Through somatic listening and nervous system attunement, we begin to recognize the patterns that shape our experience and the deeper intelligence that holds them. These integrated practices support a gradual return to rhythm, steadiness, and the quiet coherence that is already present beneath the surface of the mind.
