Body Labs | Movement Education for Real Bodies
From autopsy table to movement studio, Gillian bridges the gap between anatomy, nervous system science, and embodied movement education.
With a background in forensic medicine and years of experience teaching yoga, anatomy, and functional movement, Gillian Soder is known for making complex concepts accessible, practical, and deeply human. Her work blends movement science, nervous system education, applied anatomy, and real-life integration to help teachers and students better understand the bodies they live in every day.
Rather than teaching movement through rigid ideals or one-size-fits-all approaches, Gillian encourages curiosity, adaptability, and body literacy - helping people explore why bodies respond the way they do, how stress and environment shape movement patterns, and how informed movement can support resilience, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.
Through trainings, workshops, retreats, and mentorship spaces, Gillian has worked with yoga teachers, wellness professionals, and lifelong learners internationally, creating educational experiences that are both evidence-informed and deeply experiential.
Known for blending science, storytelling, humor, and practical application, her teaching style leaves participants feeling empowered, grounded, and far more connected to the incredible complexity of the human body
