We're back with season 2 of Same Shift, Different Way podcast! Tina & Dennis' friendship collides again with two microphones and their shared love of embodiment, somatics and wellness. In this first episode of season two they are bringing the subject of rest, wintering and the qualities of "Yield". They start by having a quick catch-up about Dennis' recognition of his own need to embrace rest and how he had a sweaty healing experience with some brothers from another mother. Tina mirrors him in her own way of restoring and "wintering" by bringing in heat too. They expand and open up the topic of rest to observe how winter as a season is mirrored in the body naturally and the cultural resistance to slowing down.The pose the reflective question, "what would your body choose if you weren't overriding it with expectation?"They reflect on societal structures, capitalism and productivity as influential factors in ignoring our body's rhythms, and Dennis asks why our mind is wanting to escape and not be in resting mode. They look at the action of Yield (relax) and how that might feel in the body, particularly vs collapse and how yielding can feel difficult or slightly frightening to many of us, particularly if we are stuck in a more active state or we feel that if we give into yield, we might collapse and not "get things done". They consider animals and nature and their seasonal cycles, and how rest is part of living cycles, along with expansion, expression, and integration. The episode ends with a great listener question around the topic of rest to have a go at answering. The stomach point we mentioned is (garbage point): stomach 41 specifically if you would like to look it up Please join us for a day of wintering on January 31st in Arnhem the Netherlands, where we will be exploring and playing around this topic in a small group.Book here :  https://bookwhen.com/tinaclarkewellness/e/ev-s31ej-20260131100000 or here : https://omnamo.nl/diensten/workshopdag-diepe-rust-in-de-winter/ For more information, coaching or to ask a listener question please go to:www.omnamo.nl  or email Dennis at [email protected] www.tinaclarkewellness.com  or email Tina at [email protected]
