And if you don't know, The Nourished Woman isn't me...she's you, me and the vision you and I hold in our hearts of the women we already are and are undeniably becoming.&nbsp;<br /><br />After sharing this, the EMBODY ladies and I practiced.<br />Slow, intentional movement.&nbsp;<br />Grounding into their feet, hips and bodies.<br /><br />Feeling their strength, stability and power.<br />We worked with the root chakra, with safety and taking up space.<br /><br />I guided them to use their voice, to make sound and let themselves be heard.&nbsp;<br /><br />There was laughter...real laughter the kind that feels unexpected in a room where you've also cried.&nbsp; Even Snoop Dogg came up, because apparently he has a children's album now - my clients tell me, haha.&nbsp;<br /><br />And then we softened<br />Moved into stillness, bodies laid out loosely in the way that only do after a great yoga practice&nbsp;<br />They breathed slow and all was quiet<br /><br />Then into writing<br />About meeting parts of themselves that still carry things<br />The younger parts, the protective parts, the ones that learned how to survive<br /><br />And then we shared.&nbsp;<br />And this is the part that always get's me.<br />Because of the range...the depth...the humanity in the room.<br /><br />One woman spoke about recovering from medical trauma.<br />Another about growing up with an addict mom who saw too much too early.<br />One shared the quiet excitement of apartment shopping for her very first place.&nbsp;<br />Another spoke of the ache of wanting deeper friendships.<br />There were stories of sexual and emotional abuse.&nbsp;<br />Of staying with the scared, lonely parts of yourself instead of abandoning them.<br />Of hitting your 40's and realizing...you don't know yourself anymore.&nbsp;<br />Of seeing, in real time, just how deeply you love and cherish someone you lost.&nbsp;<br /><br />There were tears<br />And soft breaths<br />And long pauses<br />There were smiles too.&nbsp;<br />And something you could feel shifting in the room...like weights being set down...one by one.&nbsp;<br /><br />And then they walked out.<br />Lighter, clearer, more connected.<br />With real grounded ways to move forward.&nbsp;<br /><br />That's the real magic of this work.<br />Not surface level.<br />Not aesthetic.<br />But women...coming home to themselves<br />Together.&nbsp;<br /><br />PS If you're interested in being part of this 6 week women's empowerment yoga program called EMBODY, I run it a couple of times per year.

you can&rsquo;t fully relax.<br /><br />You might be doing all the &ldquo;right&rdquo; things.<br />Working, caring for others, keeping up with life.<br />Maybe you&rsquo;ve practiced yoga, meditation, or done therapy.<br /><br />And still&hellip; there&rsquo;s this underlying feeling of being on.<br />This is where a different kind of practice becomes essential.<br /><br /><strong>Candlelight Restorative Yoga is a gentle, nervous system&ndash;based practice designed to help your body actually settle down.</strong><br />Not through effort.<br />Not through pushing.<br />But through support.<br /><br />In these sessions, you&rsquo;ll be guided through slow, intentional movement to soothe anxiety and reduce stress, followed by fully supported restorative postures using pillows and blankets, breathwork, and meditation.<br /><br />It&rsquo;s simple.<br />And that&rsquo;s what makes it so powerful.<br /><br />So many women live in a constant state of stress and dysregulation.<br />Even when life looks &ldquo;fine&rdquo; on the outside, the body stays activated.<br /><br />This is why:<br />&bull; it&rsquo;s hard to relax at night<br />&bull; your mind keeps racing<br />&bull; you feel wired and tired at the same time<br /><br />Restorative yoga works because it meets the body where it is.<br />Instead of asking you to do more, it creates the conditions for your nervous system to soften.<br /><br />Over time, this is what builds:<br />&bull; emotional steadiness<br />&bull; deeper sleep<br />&bull; a sense of safety in your body<br /><br />One of the biggest barriers to self-care is time and energy.<br /><a href="https://www.kerimarino.com/candlelight-restorative-yoga-on-zoom.html">Candlelight Restorative Yoga on Zoom</a> is designed for real life.<br />You don&rsquo;t need to leave your house.<br />You don&rsquo;t need special clothes.<br />You don&rsquo;t need to feel motivated.<br />You just need a quiet space, a few pillows, and a willingness to show up as you are.<br /><br />Most women leave feeling:<br />&bull; calmer and more grounded<br />&bull; more spacious in their body<br />&bull; clearer in their mind<br />&bull; like a weight has been lifted<br />&bull; more like themselves again<br /><br />It&rsquo;s not dramatic.<br />It&rsquo;s subtle, steady, and real...something you can count on again and again.&nbsp;<br /><br />Join Me for Candlelight Restorative Yoga<br />We meet twice each month on Zoom:<br />First Tuesday + Third Saturday<br />7:00&ndash;8:15pm EST<br /><br />Each session is $20, with a replay available for 3 days.<br /><br />You can join from home, in your pajamas, with your camera on or off.<br />No pressure.

It's tension in a pretty dress.&nbsp;<br /><br />Letting emotions move through your body instead of bottling them up.<br />Letting your breath lead you home.<br />Letting yourself be messy, real and fully alive.&nbsp;<br /><br />Now, I sing loud and free.<br />I dance like a total weirdo in my kitchen.&nbsp;<br />And I feel more connected to myself - and to my husband - than I ever thought was possible.&nbsp;<br /><br />That's the magic that happens when you release what you've been holding. And that's exactly what this month's offerings are designed to help you do.&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">November Events: A Month to Let it Go</font></strong><br /><br /><ul><li><strong>Mini Workshop: How to Process Emotion Through Your Body</strong><ul><li><em>&#8203;Friday 11/14 from 10-10:30am EST inside The Nourished Woman Sanctuary</em></li></ul></li></ul> A casual, conversation about how to feel what's really there - without getting stuck in your head.

Screens shouting for my attention, voices selling me something I didn&rsquo;t need. It struck me in that moment just how rare silence has become.<br /><br />We live in a world where our attention is treated like currency. Everywhere we turn&mdash;scrolling, driving, working, even filling up the tank&mdash;someone is vying for our focus. And I don&rsquo;t know about you, but when life feels this loud, I notice how much harder it is to hear myself.<br /><br />I even made a podcast episode on this on The Nourished Woman Podcast about this, you can listen anywhere you get your podcasts.&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">A Simple Practice That Wasn&rsquo;t So Simple</font></strong><br /><br />Years ago, after finishing a weekend of yoga therapy training in Asheville, I decided to try something radical: I drove the entire way home in silence. No music. No phone calls. Just me and myself.<br /><br />What should have been simple quickly became a challenge. My hand kept drifting toward the radio dial. I caught myself thinking of all the calls I could make during that time&mdash;checking in on a friend, catching up on to-dos. Each time, I had to consciously recommit:&nbsp;<em>No. Just silence.</em><br /><br />At first, it felt uncomfortable, even boring. But then&hellip;something shifted. In that quiet space, little threads of clarity started weaving themselves together. Thoughts I&rsquo;d been too busy to notice floated up. My body softened. My breath slowed. I could feel myself coming back home.<br /><br /><span>That drive home revealed something I think we all know but rarely admit: in today&rsquo;s world, silence takes real effort. But the effort is worth it.</span><br /><br /><strong><font size="4">Why Silence Feels So Revolutionary</font></strong><br /><br />When we&rsquo;re constantly plugged into podcasts, social media, conversations, or even background music, there&rsquo;s little space for our own wisdom to surface. The noise drowns out our intuition.<br /><br />And I&rsquo;ve seen it over and over again with the women I work with in my community: when we disconnect from ourselves, uncertainty and anxiety grow louder. We second-guess. We feel less rooted in who we are.<br /><br />But when we create intentional silence&mdash;even if just for a few minutes&mdash;we open the door to clarity. That&rsquo;s where our deepest knowing whispers. That&rsquo;s where we meet the parts of ourselves we&rsquo;ve been too busy to notice.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">Rethinking Meditation</font></strong><br /><br />One of the most common pathways into this kind of silence is meditation. And yet, it&rsquo;s also one of the most intimidating practices for many women I know.<br /><br />We think we&rsquo;re failing if our mind wanders. We think we&rsquo;re &ldquo;bad&rdquo; at it if we can&rsquo;t focus for long. But here&rsquo;s the thing: even Ram Dass once said that holding your attention on a single thing for ten seconds is nearly impossible. The monkey mind isn&rsquo;t the enemy&mdash;it&rsquo;s just human nature.<br /><br />Meditation isn&rsquo;t about how long you can hold perfect focus. It&rsquo;s about your willingness to return. Again and again. With gentleness. With devotion.<br /><br />When you stop treating your wandering mind as failure, and start seeing each redirection as an act of love, the whole practice changes. Meditation becomes less about performance and more about relationship&mdash;building trust with your own consciousness, one breath at a time.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">A Devotional Practice</font></strong><br /><br />If you&rsquo;re craving a deeper connection to yourself, I always recommend choosing one meditation practice and sticking with it for a season, rather than hopping between techniques. This consistency lets you move beyond the surface layer of distraction and into the deeper waters where intuition and peace live.<br /><br />And please&mdash;bring playfulness with you. Let self-compassion guide you. This isn&rsquo;t about being perfect; it&rsquo;s about creating a sacred little pocket of stillness in your life where transformation naturally unfolds.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">Coming Back Home</font></strong><br /><br />In a hyperconnected world, silence might feel radical. But it&rsquo;s also medicine.&nbsp;<br /><br />And my invitation for you is simple: try it. Maybe it&rsquo;s ten minutes without your phone. Maybe it&rsquo;s a car ride with nothing but your breath. Notice what rises when the noise falls away.<br /><br />Because when you give yourself the gift of silence, you&rsquo;re not just finding peace&mdash;you&rsquo;re finding yourself again.<br /><br /><span>&#10024; I&rsquo;d love to know: where do you carve out silence in your life? Or, where do you most long for it?</span><br /><br /><em>Written by Keri Marino.&nbsp;</em></div>  <div class="paragraph"><em><font color="#000000">Keri Marino</font></em><span><em>&nbsp;is a Certified Somatic Yoga Therapist and Inner Work Guide who helps women feel more healthy, whole, confident and empowered.</em>&nbsp;She is known for her calm presence and relatable, yet unapologetically spiritual approach to yoga &amp; life.</span><br /><br /><span>She believes that true healing happens when we embrace the full spectrum of who we are in all our beautiful messy complexity.

That a good mother, partner, daughter, or leader is the one who gives until she&rsquo;s empty. That the more we abandon ourselves for the sake of others, the more lovable we become.<br /><br />But here&rsquo;s the truth: that story isn&rsquo;t just exhausting&mdash;it&rsquo;s disconnecting us from our own souls.<br /><strong><font size="4"><br />The Martyr Complex </font></strong><br /><br />We InheritedWe've all grown up watching women around me carry it all. They were praised for selflessness, for putting everyone&rsquo;s needs above their own. The world called it noble, but I could feel the undercurrent: depletion, resentment, a quiet ache that no one named out loud.<br /><br />This is the&nbsp;<em>martyr complex</em>&nbsp;we&rsquo;ve inherited, and it runs deep. It&rsquo;s the voice that whispers &ldquo;You're not allowed to rest, there's too much to do&rdquo; or &ldquo;Don't burden others with what you can do yourself.&rdquo; <br /><br />It&rsquo;s the pattern that keeps us locked in cycles of overgiving and underliving.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">A Radical Reframe</font></strong><br /><br />What if the most revolutionary act of love isn&rsquo;t putting yourself last&mdash;but first?<br /><br />Not from selfishness, but from the profound knowing that you cannot pour from an empty cup. That your nervous system&mdash;the rhythm at which you breathe, move, and respond&mdash;sets the tone for the people around you.<br /><br />When you live from depletion, that energy radiates outward. But when you live from wholeness,&nbsp;<em>that</em>&nbsp;becomes medicine.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">What Self-Nourishment Really Means</font></strong><br /><br />Let me be clear: true self-nourishment isn&rsquo;t about bubble baths, wine nights, or manicures (though those can be sweet extras).<br /><br />I&rsquo;m talking about soul work.<br /><br />Practices that root you back into yourself: yoga, meditation, somatics, chanting, time in nature, journaling, prayer. These are not luxuries&mdash;they&rsquo;re lifelines.<br /><br />And they don&rsquo;t have to take hours. <br /><br />Sometimes, two minutes of intentional breathwork can shift everything. Sometimes, it&rsquo;s allowing yourself to move your body freely instead of pushing through the to-do list. Sometimes, it&rsquo;s choosing to say no&mdash;even when it feels uncomfortable&mdash;because your body is begging you to rest.<br /><br />Each small act of devotion to yourself is a thread that breaks the generational curse of self-abandonment.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">Why It Matters Now More Than Ever</font></strong><br /><br />We&rsquo;re living in a time of collective upheaval&mdash;political unrest, environmental crises, division everywhere we look. The world doesn&rsquo;t need more women running on fumes.<br /><br />It needs women who are resourced, centered, and alive in their bodies.<br />Women who know how to reset their nervous systems and listen to their souls.<br />Women who show up whole, because wholeness has a ripple effect.<br /><br />Your self-devotion isn&rsquo;t just for you&mdash;it&rsquo;s for everyone whose life you touch.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">An Invitation</font></strong><br /><br />If this conversation stirs something in you, I want to invite you deeper into this work through my new 6-week audio course:&nbsp;<strong>The Sacred F*ck Its.</strong><br /></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-small wsite-button-normal" href="https://thenourishedwoman.heymarvelous.com/product/88652/about" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">See Details</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span>It isn&rsquo;t another thing to add to your list&mdash;it&rsquo;s something you can&nbsp;</span><em>take with you</em><span>&nbsp;into your life.

You may hear things like:<br />&ldquo;Why are you bringing this up again?&rdquo; or<br />&ldquo;If you&rsquo;ve done all this inner work, why are you still so emotional?&rdquo;<br /><br />The people in your life may not understand why you're doing this work or even want to consider doing it for themselves.&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>But here&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;ve witnessed again and again: once a woman decides she&rsquo;s no longer available for the old way, she never wants to go back.</strong><br /><br />Because while relationships may shift, your health, joy, and sense of self expand in ways that touch&nbsp;<em>everyone</em>&nbsp;around you. Your kids, your clients, your friendships, even the women who came before you and the ones who will come after &mdash; they all benefit from the ripples of your healing.<br /><br /><span>&#10024; If this resonates, you&rsquo;ll love this week&rsquo;s episode of&nbsp;</span><strong>The Nourished Woman Podcast</strong><span>:</span><br /><br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/2529360/episodes/17741673' target='_blank'> <img src="https://www.kerimarino.com/uploads/2/2/4/5/22459026/screenshot-2025-08-27-at-8-11-31-am_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-small wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2529360/episodes/17741673" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">listen here </span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph">Not everyone will understand your journey.

More doing. More pushing. More proving.<br /><br />But what if the thing you need most right now isn&rsquo;t&nbsp;<em>more</em>&hellip; it&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>less</em>?<br /><br />Sometimes the most aligned thing you can do is to let something go. To get a case of the &ldquo;f*ck-it&rsquo;s.&rdquo; Not the reckless, throw-it-all-away kind&hellip; but the quiet, soul-protecting kind.<br /><br />Because here&rsquo;s the truth: the version of you who already has the beautiful relationship, the sturdy sense of self, the ease, the clarity, the money, the purpose&hellip; she isn&rsquo;t scattering her energy in a hundred directions. She&rsquo;s deliberate. She chooses what gets her attention.<br /><br />So here&rsquo;s a question: If you were her today, how would you move? How would you eat? What would your schedule look like? What would you stop doing?<br /><br />One of my clients came to me thinking yoga was just &ldquo;one more thing&rdquo; on her list. Instead, it became the thing that gave her more. More clarity. More permission to edit her life. More presence in her actual days.<br /><br />Kate Northrup says it best:<br /><br /><em>&ldquo;When you do less, you have more energy, time, and enthusiasm for the things that matter the most to you&hellip; You simply do less &ndash; but more of what matters.&rdquo;<br /></em><br />This is what cyclical living is. <br /><br />This is the heartbeat of my work &mdash; the reason my podcast&nbsp;(launching later this month) exists.
