Alignment by Tuva

This week, I’m taking you inside one of the most transformative experiences of my life - my Somatic Alignment practitioner training founded by Santi.I’ll share, in raw detail, what it felt like to lie on a mat and let my body unravel decades of silence. To scream for the first time in my life. To feel ancestral pain moving through my belly. To release emotions I didn’t even know I was still carrying - and to finally discover the space that comes when the body feels safe enough to let go.This isn’t a conversation about mindset hacks or surface-level healing. This is about:Why safety in the nervous system is the foundation of all transformationHow trauma lives as implicit memory - in the gut, the throat, the hips, the tissues - long after the mind has “moved on”Why we can’t think our way free, but we can create the conditions for the body to releaseMy own stories of anger, grief, and ancestral memory - and what shifted when I allowed them to be feltI left this training with the deepest gratitude - for Santi, for the facilitators, for my own courage to feel, and for the truth that healing doesn’t happen when someone fixes you. Healing happens when your body finally whispers: it’s safe now.And now, as a facilitator myself, I look forward to carrying this work forward. Not to “do it” for others, but to hold space for them to remember what’s already inside.So as you listen, I want to invite you inward:What emotions have you silenced in order to be loved?Where is your body still holding stories your mind has long forgotten?What would it feel like to finally create space for them to be felt?Because the body remembers. And when we let it speak - that’s when freedom begins. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You’re not broken. You’re not unlucky. And you’re definitely not destined to repeat the same heartbreak forever.If you keep falling for the wrong people => the unavailable, the chaotic, the ones who can’t meet you. There’s a reason. It’s not about them. It’s about your nervous system.In this episode, I break down:Why your body confuses chaos with chemistry (and safety with boredom)The neuroscience of attraction: your brain chooses what’s familiar, even if it hurtsThe myth of “finding the right person” - and why you’ll sabotage love if your body doesn’t feel safePractical tools to rewire your nervous system so you can finally choose, receive, and relax into healthy loveYou don’t need more sparks. You need regulation. Because love isn’t chaos. Love is clarity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Fake it till you make it""Assume it's already yours"Sounds good on paper, right?But good on paper doesn't mean it will make your nervous system feel safe. If your body doesn't feel safe, no affirmation, assumption, or performance will stick.In this episode, I take you deeper:The cultural obsession with shortcuts and instant transformationWhy your nervous system chooses survival over expansion - every timeThe ego high of faking it, and why it always crashesThe real path forward: nervous system regulation, somatics, and embodied micro-stepsBecause the life you're meant to live isn't found in more knowing. It's found in becoming Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You've read the books. You've journaled the affirmations. You've listened to the podcasts. So why does your life still feel the same?Knowledge doesn't change you. Embodiment does.In this episode, I break down the missing link between self-help and real change - your nervous system. I share my own story of knowing all the right words but still living in control and survival mode, the neuroscience of why affirmations don’t stick, and the four-step path to embodiment: awareness, regulation, practice, and integration.If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, so why am I not doing it?” - this episode will give you the answer.Because the life you’re meant to live isn’t waiting for more knowing.It’s waiting for you to embody.

What happens when you spend a whole euro summer without alcohol?No wine at dinners in Menorca, no cocktails in Mykonos, no hangovers in Mallorca.In this episode, I share my raw experience of choosing sobriety for a season - not as a forever rule, but as an experiment in alignment.I talk about:Why I said no to drinking this summer (hormones, hangovers, nervous system health)The awkward bits — “wait, you’re not drinking?” moments, sitting at wine-filled tablesThe surprising parts — more confidence, deeper connection, remembering everythingThe science behind alcohol and your body — hormones, sleep, emotions, clarityThe biggest lesson: sobriety isn’t about restriction, it’s about expansionThis isn’t really about alcohol.It’s about asking yourself: Where am I numbing? Where am I dimming? Who could I become if I let myself feel it all, clearly, awake, alive? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through life - trying to think your way out of anxiety, plan your way into peace, or control every detail so you finally feel safe - this episode is for you.Because here’s the truth: Control doesn’t heal you. It traps you.In this episode, I share a raw experience from a somatic yoga class where surrender cracked me open in a way control never could. I’ll walk you through:Why your nervous system holds onto old stories and trauma - even from before you were bornWhat happens in your body when you finally stop gripping and start softeningHow somatic work (breath, movement, EFT, nervous system tools) creates the safety your mind can’tWhy healing isn’t your fault, but it is your responsibilityHow to begin practicing surrender in your own life todayThis isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about real transformation - the kind that starts in your body, not your head.So if you’re tired of overthinking, forcing, or waiting to finally feel “ready”, press play.Your body already knows the way.Connect with Me:Instagram@alignmentbytuvaYouTubeAlignment by TuvaWebsitewww.alignmentbytuva.com Hosted on Acast.

This one’s for the quiet seasons. The tender, raw, in-between moments where your old identity has fallen away, but the new one hasn’t fully formed.You might feel untethered. You might feel behind. You might feel like you’re “losing yourself.”But what if this season isn’t about being lost - What if it’s about becoming?In this soul-opening episode, I share the real, unfiltered truth about what it means to evolve - emotionally, spiritually, energetically. I explore the grief of letting go of old versions of yourself, the nervous system recalibration that comes with expansion, and the sacred discomfort of embodying the new you before the world reflects it back.You’ll leave this episode feeling seen, softened, and reminded:You’re not behind.You’re not broken.You’re in the becoming.And that… is holy.Connect with Me:Instagram @alignmentbytuvaYouTube @alignmentbytuvaTikTok@alignmentbytuvaWebsitewww.alignmentbytuva.com Hosted on Acast.
