Welcome to the second episode of SPIRIT & RECOVERY, our 5-part podcast series exploring powerful healing modalities, philosophies and soulful practices that are designed to support recovery - on all levels - from trauma, addiction, harmful behaviors and more. In this episode we’re joined by Steven Washington, a teacher, writer and former Broadway dancer. Today he shares his personal journey through addiction and recovery, including how his love of movement inspired him to become a highly acclaimed Qigong and Pilates teacher. In this conversation we talk about facing generational trauma, the connection between movement and recovery and practical tools for coping with overwhelm. *Warning: This episode includes conversations about trauma, addiction, abuse and other subjects and situations that may be triggering for some listeners. Our intention with this series is to educate and inspire, and while mental health professionals are being interviewed, this podcast does not offer personalized medical advice. If you need help or are in crisis, please seek medical attention and advice from a professional. >>> For takeaways & transcripts check out our show notes HERE >>> Stay informed and be the first to know about exclusive offers by subscribing to Colette's newsletter HERE Learn more about your ad choices.
