Quotable Quotes

“Breathe with the sensation; feel what feels right in your body, and trust that your body is not steering you wrong.” —Bec Conant

“We don’t know this language of sensation in our body. A lot of times when people get on a yoga mat, or when people get into more somatic movement practices, we’re really learning a new language. We’re learning to speak feeling.” —Bec Conant

“This is your birth. You get to make the choices around that. We are the experts of our internal direct experience, and we should honor that.” —Bec Conant
