Healing Trauma With Yoga – Alizah Silver On The Mojo Fit Podcast

On Friday, I had the privilege of interviewing Alizah Silver, my yoga instructor. She announced she was leaving and told us that she was off to help children from really challenging backgrounds, to heal their trauma using yoga and mindfulness. I got goose bumps and approached her afterwards. After hearing more about her story and how she healed her own trauma which helped her reverse her eating disorders, I requested to interview her. This episode entitled Healing Trauma With Yoga is NOT to be missed!

Alizah fluctuated from being underweight to very overweight, and comes from a family of eating disorders. Alizah has discovered the secret to vitality in the form of yoga. It’s astonishing what this practice can bring to your life. I’ve been practicing for 3.5 years and I never knew it went this deep. In her words, there was life before her yoga teaching training and there was life after her teacher training.
