SummaryOn this inaugural episode of The Movement for Every Body podcast, we explore themes surrounding grief, body image, and how we create identity. Physical therapist, author, and yoga teacher Dr Marcia is joined by dancer, theatre nerd, and personal trainer Laura Girard. Dr Marcia and Laura talk about everything from the patriarchal origins of ballet dance to rage walking as a means of processing deep feelings post divorce. They also talk about the ways they were transformed by their experiences both in caring for a loved one with a cancer diagnosis and being forced to reckon with their own mortality.TakeawaysIt's not always easy to recognize what our body needs.We can enjoy movement for just a season, and not forever.Grief can change the way you need to move your body.Consistency is the intentional daily effort towards self care. It's never okay to comment on a person's body changes.Sound Bites“Everything that we talked about is about fitness. This is not severance. your innie doesn't just go to the gym and nothing else exists. everything is with you”“It worked because the effort the intention was we do the thing that is caring for me, having this experience in this human body”“consistency is about consistent effort not necessarily the yield or the result”“I’ll survive. I'll survive looking a little silly”LinksLaura’s Infohttps://planoly.store/lcgirardThe Energy Academyhttps://linktr.ee/theenergyacademy Book Detailshttps://www.northatlanticbooks.com/?s=movement+f
