EP 52: How Movement Heals the Body & Mind with Carolyn

What if movement wasn’t about punishment - but about healing, joy, and self-discovery?In this episode of Let’s Talk Wellness with Shal, we sit down with Carolyn Simonton, a Buti movement instructor whose personal journey is a powerful reminder that the body is capable of deep healing and transformation.Carolyn shares how her path began with physical therapy after being unable to lift her arms over her head, and how that experience led her to yoga, Buti, and ultimately a career centered on helping others reconnect with their bodies through joyful movement.We explore the importance of recovery, body confidence, and shifting our mindset from exercise as obligation to movement as celebration.Whether you're recovering from injury, rebuilding your relationship with fitness, or simply seeking a more compassionate approach to wellness, this conversation will inspire you to move differently—inside and out.In this episode, we cover: Healing through movement and yoga  What is Buti and how it supports transformation  Recovery and nervous system awareness  Body confidence and self-acceptance  Joyful, expressive movement practices  Reframing fitness as celebration, not punishment 🎧 Let’s Talk Wellness with Shal is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple and Amazon Podcasts.
