Ep. 46: My Birth Story: Navigating the Unexpected

Aly explores how aligning movement practices with the rhythms of nature can create more sustainable, joyful routines, and she introduces Modern Body’s seasonal theme, “Fall Into You.”

Drawing from both personal history and postpartum insights, Aly unpacks the often-confusing language around “movement,” “exercise,” “training,” and “working out.” She recalls moments when her relationship with her body became tangled with cultural pressure, and how redefining these terms gave her freedom to start again.

Aly reminds listeners that movement isn’t about calorie burn or aesthetics—it’s about function, energy, and self-connection. This episode is an invited to let go of external expectations, embrace the season at hand, and shape your own unique path toward consistent, meaningful movement.

Ep. 67: Are you training all muscle fiber types in your movement practice?

The shoulder might seem simple, but tucked inside it is one of the body’s most underappreciated power teams: the rotator cuff. Aly explains how much these muscles contribute to posture, stability, and overall ease of movement. She highlights how everyday actions like buckling a seatbelt, grabbing dishes from a cupboard, or clipping on a baby carrier call on the rotator cuff group.

Listeners will walk away with an understanding of how the shoulder joint works, why rotator cuff injuries are so common, and what types of movement best support these endurance-based muscles. This episode isn’t just for those with shoulder pain—it’s for anyone who wants to build resilience, prevent injury, and feel stronger from the inside out.

Read The misunderstood limits of folk science: an illusion of explanatory depth

Aly sits down with Ryan, co-founder of bodyART, to unpack how dance, physical therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine weave together into a movement system designed for longevity. Ryan’s journey from performing with Beyoncé and the Step Up movies to reimagining rehabilitation protocols brings a refreshing perspective: what if exercise wasn’t about punishing the body but about sustaining it for a lifetime?

Together, Aly and Ryan dig into the difference between fitness culture’s “no pain, no gain” mindset and a physical therapy lens that views pain as valuable information rather than a badge of honor. Ryan explains why many people struggle to stick with rehab exercises and how bodyART reshapes that experience by blending prevention, psychology, and creativity.

Listeners will walk away with a renewed sense of what it means to train for life, not just for aesthetics.
