What if your body has been holding onto trauma long after your mind thinks you’ve healed?

In this powerful conversation, Michelle Dempsey-Multack sits down with Janine Forte, founder of One Yoga International™, to explore the science and soul of releasing stored trauma through yoga, mindfulness, and somatic healing. From understanding how “the issues are in the tissues” to learning gentle, accessible ways to reconnect with your body, this episode offers hope, tools, and inspiration for anyone seeking to heal from the inside out.

The Breathe–Move–Release Method for shifting out of fight-or-flight mode and into nervous system regulation.
Practical daily rituals to build trust with your body after trauma or toxic relationships.
How self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy expand when you “start by stopping.”
