Awareness and Movement for Life - Physiyoga with Diana Zotos Florio

Today we have a really interesting conversation with Diana Zotos Florio, one of the founders of Threes Physiyoga. We talked about awareness and embodiment, yoga and physical therapy, and how all these practices can support us to live life fully. Diana talks about re-thinking the paradigm where we go to physical therapy episodically to "fix" injuries, rather than engaging in smart movement practices to prevent pain and maintain health. We also explore what yoga and mindfulness may contribute to physical therapy treatment, and what she learned about pain from treating stressed out New York City investment bankers earlier in her career. You'll hear about: how embodiment helps us break up the layers of limiting beliefs that contribute to our pain experience how alignment does and doesn't help us find safety during a yoga or movement practice why your hips feel "tight," and how you might think differently about finding relief there!   You'll feel inspired to connect the dots between your yoga and physical self-care practices, and all the activities you do throughout the day. There are is so much useful information in this conversation - listen in and let us know what your favorite take-aways are. -- For more links and resources mentioned in this episode, find the show notes at movedtomeditate.yoga/podcast.
