Raj Barker is the founder of BURN by Body Medicine, a unique somatic movement method that combines yoga, mat Pilates, cardio and breath awareness. We’re so excited to have Raj teach her BURN classes at KICStudio this August and October and wanted to introduce her to you beforehand.

In this episode, Raj speaks with Laura about how she first came to somatic movement during her time teaching at The Class in New York City, what defines a somatic movement practice, and why the language we use around nervous system regulation matters. She explores the idea that moments of nervous system dysregulation are a normal part of being human and how practices such as somatic movement can help us develop the internal resources to meet those moments with greater awareness and choice.

WHAT IS BURN? 

BURN by Body Medicine is a unique somatic movement method fusing yoga, mat Pilates, breath awareness and cardio (not too much). We use movement to create sensation and, beyond our thoughts, we practice trusting that sensation to steer our process. This is a music-driven experience, where you'll be guided through intentional and embodied movement, cultivating a fire to either burn through what is in your way, or illuminate what needs to be seen, ultimately forging a pathway to deeper self-connection and holistic well-being.

KICStudio x BURN by Body Medicine 

Raj will host two events at KICStudio on Saturday August 22nd and Sunday August 23rd. You can book now via the MindBody app: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=5748787&stype=-7&sTG=31&sVT=17&sView=week&sLoc=1&date=08/22/26
