For the final episode of Season 2 I am sharing with you my conversation about movement as path to body love and body acceptance that I had with Pilates and Yoga Teacher Ana Stefan. Thank you for being here with me and my guests as this podcast journey is unfolding. It is wonderful to receive comments and feedback from listeners how the content is helpful.
Of course I am hoping that it will be helpful, but on a more selfish note, I wadmit that I love having the opportunity to talk with so many of my peers and colleagues through this experience . I have hopes of many more conversations and topics to come.
Movement and exercise can become so bound up in weigh loss pursuits, which often affects our relationship with the desire to move our body. Because of this I wanted to speak with someone who take a different approach to movement and exercise.
Ana Stefan, aka The Aligned Body Coach, helps women to see how truly amazing their bodies – and full selves – are, through mindful and aligned movement. She combines her wisdom in Pilates, Yoga, Meditation, Myofascial Movement and Breathwork to take a mindful approach to movement that supports women in attaining their Aligned Body.
In this episode we talk about:
– Ana’s own journey with movement and exercise and how approaching it with functionality in mind, rather than weight loss.
– How this set her on both a new career path
– How being a movement practitioner and Pilates instructor has helped her move towards body acceptance and gratitude for her body.
I am also delighted to find out that Ana is a big foodie and get a lot of pleasure from food, just like me 🙂
Enjoy this conversation!
