The Nourished Woman with Keri Marino

I Cried Recording This — On Giving MySelf Permission and Why Yoga Needs to Go Deep Again

I almost didn't make this episode. It's the most personal thing I've shared in a while — and at one point I just stopped and cried, right there into the mic. This is me working through a paradigm shift I've been sitting in for months: owning that after seventeen years, I'm not a beginner yoga therapist figuring it out anymore. I'm a senior one. And that comes with a responsibility I've been hesitant to fully claim — to speak honestly about what's happened to yoga over the last twenty years, as it moved from weird and deep to widely available, and in that spread, became diluted. Surface level. Fitness oriented. A stress reliever you do for 15 minutes and forget. In this episode I talk about why yoga has always been about healing and integration, not just exercise — and why, in a world accelerating into AI and disconnection, we need practices that turn us inward more than ever. I talk about devotion. About what it means to actually identify as a woman who practices — not occasionally, but as a real part of who you are, with a system and a village around you that helps you fill the gaps when life gets hard. This one is raw, it's honest, and I think it might be exactly what some of you have been needing to hear. 🕯️ Free guided somatic yoga practice — Come Home to Your Body → https://kerimarino.eo.page/comehome Meet Keri Marino Keri Marino is a Somatic Yoga Therapist and founder of The Nourished Woman, helping women feel more widely whole and free.

Beyond Calm - What Yoga Actually Does to Your Nervous System Over Time

You know yoga makes you feel better. But do you know why? And more importantly — do you know what becomes possible when your nervous system actually heals over time? In this episode of The Nourished Woman Podcast somatic yoga therapist Keri Marino gets personal and conversational about what nervous system healing actually looks and feels like from the inside — for real women living real lives. Keri opens with her own past experiences of deep nervous system dysregulation — what it felt like in her body, her relationships and her daily life — and walks you through how somatic yoga therapy changed everything. Not in a clinical way. In a woman to woman way that will make you feel deeply seen. This episode covers what your nervous system is actually doing and why it matters for your healing, what expanding your nervous system capacity actually feels like — and why it's about so much more than just calming down, how healing your nervous system opens you up to pleasure, to feeling good in your body, to intimacy, to abundance and to life itself, why inner work and somatic yoga therapy work together as a complete method and how to actually start doing this work in your real life. Because the goal was never just calm. The goal is a bigger more alive more free experience of being human.💜 🕯️ Free guided practice — Come Home to Your Body → https://kerimarino.eo.page/comehome 📺 Watch the YouTube video — How Yoga Affects Your Nervous System → https://youtu.be/P6mUONH-Ky4?si=x3ZK5rao4TAr9RLl 🌙 The Nourished Woman Sanctuary → https://www.kerimarino.com/the-nourished-woman-sanctuary.html Meet Keri Marino Keri Marino is a Somatic Yoga Therapist and founder of The Nourished Woman, helping women move beyond overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt into embodied confidence and nervous system balance.

Break Free From Shame — How It Lives in Your Body and How Yoga Helps You Heal with Christy Bonner

Shame doesn't just live in your thoughts. It lives in your body. And healing it requires more than just understanding it. In this episode of The Nourished Woman Podcast, Keri Marino sits down with Christy Bonner — licensed marriage and family therapist, certified Enneagram teacher, 500-hour yoga teacher and author of Freedom from Shame — for one of the most honest and illuminating conversations about shame, healing and liberation you'll hear. Christy brings a rare combination of clinical depth, spiritual wisdom and personal vulnerability to this conversation — and together they go places most wellness podcasts never go. In this episode you'll discover the critical difference between shame and guilt — and why getting this wrong keeps women stuck, how shame lives in the body and why healing it requires a bottom-up approach not just insight and understanding, the three ways women respond to shame — moving toward, moving away and moving against — and what each reveals about your nervous system, how religious trauma and rigid faith systems create some of the deepest shame wounds and what freedom from that actually looks like, what the Enneagram shame triad reveals about types 2, 3 and 4 — and how all nine types carry shame differently, what it actually feels like when shame stops running your life — in your body, your relationships and your capacity to take up space in the world and how yoga uniquely heals shame by working on the body, mind, spirit and life simultaneously. Shame loves secrecy. This conversation is the sunlight. 🕯️ Meet Christy Bonner:  Christy is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified Enneagram teacher, 500-hour yoga teacher, former chaplain of 15 years, TEDx speaker and author of six books including Freedom from Shame.  Find her at www.mindbodyandspirit.com [http://www.mindbodyandspirit.com/] On Her Podcast Enneagram + Yoga https://www.instagram.com/enneagram.yoga/ [https://www.instagram.com/enneagram.yoga/] Meet Keri Marino  Keri Marino is a Somatic Yoga Therapist and founder of The Nourished Woman, helping women move beyond overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt into embodied confidence and nervous system balance.

The Mindset of a Woman Who Successfully Practices Yoga at Home — It's Not What You Think

The woman who practices yoga consistently at home isn't more disciplined than you. She's more desire led. Big difference. In this episode somatic yoga therapist Keri Marino breaks down the exact mindset that separates the woman who practices from the woman who means to — and what actually becomes possible when you stop making yoga optional and start making it yours. Because the goal was never calm. It was always liberation. Pleasure. Feeling wildly alive and free in your own body and life. This is how you get there. 🕯️ If you’re ready for a gentle yoga practice that helps you feel at home in yourself and opens you up to feel more present and alive.
