What My Body Knew Before I Did

If you've ever felt something true in your body and come up empty trying to say it out loud — you already know the gap this show lives in.I'm Alexa Nehter, and Connective is where I gather the researchers, practitioners and educators who've spent decades inside this work — each of whom found their own way of seeing the body, and their own way of teaching it. Some episodes are conversations with the people I learned from. Some are me thinking out loud, following a question I don't yet have the answer to, and inviting you along.This first short piece is why I made it: a moment in Italy, practising with my teacher Diane Long, that sent me looking for language my body already seemed to know — and the gap between knowing how to do this work and getting it to truly land in the body in front of you.For the teacher, the practitioner, and the everyday mover. Not a place to stand above the conversation — a place to enter it. Together, curiously, honestly.ABOUT CONNECTIVEConnective is a podcast for teachers, practitioners and the fascia-curious.
