From devastating personal loss to inter-generational trauma, the common denominator in all personal growth is the body. In her a talk, Astra Coyle explains how the body has the means to access positive change and is readily available to each of you right there, beneath your skin, your cells...humming along just as surely as your own breath and blood.
