226 - Olive Walton - Breaking Barriers to Strength, Mobility, and Body Love

Anne's recent conversation with Movement Coach Olive Walton is an excellent reminder of how much mental anguish and physical damage the shame monster can inflict. It's no surprise, then, that shame is a favorite weapon of both white supremacy and many in the fitness industry. Olive: "Conversations I've had recently with a lot of people is how their firsthand experiences with physical education were pretty negative".  We carry that negativity into adulthood, often pursuing movements our bodies couldn't accommodate then shaming ourselves for failing to fit a painfully restrictive mold. Olive is here to help: "A big part of what I do is breaking down those barriers, reframing their perspective, working with a more positive, playful attitude." GUEST BIO Olive Walton is a movement coach who shares movement practices from yoga to strength training, mobility to handstands, and leads with curiosity and playfulness for the body and mind.
