Join Ailey Jolie and Andrea Juhan, psychotherapist, embodiment teacher, and co-founder of Open Floor International, on this expansive episode of In This Body. Together, they explore the healing potential of movement, not as performance, but as presence. Andrea shares her journey from Esalen bodyworker to somatic psychotherapist, weaving a life devoted to understanding how the body stores story, spirit, and self. The conversation traces the lineage of movement-based therapies, the relational field of embodiment, and the wild intelligence of the body as teacher. Andrea invites us to consider what it means to feel and deal—with fewer defences and more receptivity. This is a dialogue for anyone craving a deeper relationship with their body, their longing, and their own unfolding truth.In this episode:02:05 – Understanding Being in Your Body03:32 – The Journey of Movement and Psychology06:07 – Dance Movement Therapy: A Healing Approach09:51 – Movement as Healing vs. Performance11:50 – Collective Stories in the Body15:46 – Gabrielle Roth and the Five Rhythms27:32 – Exploring the Relational Body31:43 – The Essence of Open Floor Movement35:11 – Spirituality and Movement41:42 – Evolution of Embodiment PracticesYou can read the show transcript here.To find out more about Andrea:Find: WebsiteFollow: InstagramExperience: ProgramsExplore: Open FloorLearn more about Ailey Jolie:Find: WebsiteFollow: InstagramExplore: SubstackExperience: Insight TimerEmail: [email protected] follow along with the In This Body podcast:Follow: InstagramFind: WebsiteEmail: [email protected]
