In today's episode, host Aly DiRoma takes us on a journey into the world of simplifying our movement practice to extract more joy and benefits from it. In a world that constantly tells us to add more—more intensity, more complexity, more goals—Aly advocates for the opposite: stripping away the excess to create a practice that’s grounded, sustainable, and ultimately, more rewarding.

Aly’s approach is refreshingly practical, offering a three-step process to help listeners simplify their movement routines without losing any of the benefits. Whether you’re just starting your movement journey or looking to refine an established practice, this episode will leave you feeling empowered to pare down and embrace simplicity. Aly's guidance offers the perfect roadmap to a more grounded and satisfying movement practice.
