S1E8: Learning to Listen to the Body with Kamla de Haas

In this episode of Becoming You – The Podcast, John Fleming is joined by Kamla de Haas, a dancer, somatic coach, and lifelong observer of the human experience, for a rich conversation about the body - and what it means to listen to the body.

Kamla shares her early experiences of growing up adopted in the Netherlands, her deep curiosity about human behaviour, and how dance became her first language of expression and freedom. 

From a young age, she was someone people opened up to and now, through her work, Kamla invites others to come back into relationship with their bodies.

This episode is a gentle invitation to get curious about your relationship with your body — and how it shapes your journey of becoming.

Together, John and Kamla explore:

• How Kamla’s early experience of being adopted shaped her desire to observe and understand human behaviour
• The wisdom of the body and why it’s often ignored
• The difference between thinking about your body and being in it
• Why we focus so much on the head when the body holds so much more
• Why Kamla calls herself a “spiritual cheerleader” and stands beside, not above, the people she works with
• How simple daily rituals - like touch, breath, and movement - can transform our relationship to ourselves.
