Pilates Educator Diane Nye on how to find ease in your movement; why effort is never the answer...

In this week's episode, we hear from movement visionary Diane Nye; a Polestar Pilates Educator, Franklin Method Teacher and expert in the use of pilates for special populations. Diane offers us a wealth of understanding not only on complex biomechanics & fascia, but on the use of movement to stimulate powerful physiological healing.  She teaches on the profound relatability of "exercise" to the activities of daily life - how finessing and progressing movement within the studio setting can liberate people to a lifestyle beyond what they're often led to expect. In this precious conversation, we learn about Diane's profound journey with her own physicality - from push, override, adrenaline and injury to deeply-embodied connection. We explore why moving with ease and pleasure is so much more systemically beneficial than "efforting"; why modern concepts of "posture" and "core engagement" are quite so unhelpful to actual function; and just how one befriends ones own body, whatever circumstances are present. It was a gorgeously nourishing interview, and one which I hope will inspire all of you listening to be both braver and more gentle with this beautiful vessel that you live within.
