"Our Consciousness Has Been Industralized!" Seacoast Yoga Teacher on (Re)Connecting to Ourselves, Getting Sober, & Attachment Styles

Listen on Spotify Apple Podcasts Watch on YouTube

Holly Ransom didn't want to feel this way anymore.

The tiredness. The body aches. The shame.

So she quit.

Now two years sober, Holly is a spiritual wrecking ball fiercely determined to heal herself, and to use her own learnings to heal others along the way.

A yoga teacher (3 Bridges Yoga, Seacoast Power Yoga, Four Bodies Wellness, Cinder & Sound), sound healer, holistic coach, and "Cycles and Shadows" podcast host, the 28-year-old is one of the oldest souls, deepest feelers, and most philosophical thinkers you'll come across on the Seacoast.

In this Season 3 bonus episode recorded in the West End of Portsmouth, Holly joins host Troy Farkas to discuss her emotional yoga teacher training in Costa Rica, working at The Wilder, ecstatic dance, what astrology tells us about how we show up in relationships, why our consciousness has been "industrialized," and much more.
