In this episode of Modern Body: Pilates & Movement for Life, Aly DiRoma dives deep into the theme of “Tuning In”—an essential concept for reconnecting with our bodies on a deeper, more intuitive level. Aly reflects on her personal journey of transitioning from a competitive, performance-driven mindset to embracing movement as a tool for mindfulness and self-awareness. She candidly shares how she rewrote her relationship with movement, evolving from the need to control and perfect her body, to finding joy and purpose in tuning into its needs and rhythms.  This episode is perfect for anyone feeling stagnant in their movement practice or seeking a fresh, compassionate approach to fitness.

Main Takeaways:

• Movement is more than just a tool for achieving physical goals; it’s a way to deeply connect with your body.
• Aly encourages listeners to replace metrics and expectations with intuition, self-compassion, and presence in their movement practice.
• The idea of “tuning in” means being fully present with your body in whatever state it’s in—whether during rigorous exercise or simple daily tasks like walking the dog or doing laundry.

Notable Quotes:

• “Can you find other benefits from movement rather than the metrics? And can you be okay with adopting a new mindset or relationship with your body during these times?”
• “Life itself is an experiment, and movement can be one too. Let yourself try new things, have fun, and just see what happens.”

Episode Highlights:

• Aly’s personal journey from competitive dance to discovering a more mindful approach to movement.
