The human body is designed for movement, but have you ever thought about the seasons your body experiences—both physically and metaphorically? In this episode of Modern Body: Pilates & Movement for Life, Aly DiRoma invites us to align with the slower rhythms of winter, a season for reflection, replenishment, and going inward.

Through her insightful and relatable storytelling, Aly breaks down the concept of "physical resources" and why they matter, from muscle strength to nervous system support. She offers actionable advice on how to assess where you are now, identify the gaps in your physical well-being, and gradually rebuild for long-term resilience. Aly shares her own postpartum journey—a season of life that tested her resources to their limits—and how she used slow, intentional movement to begin her recovery.

Notable Quotes:

• "We should start the year off at a walking pace instead of an all-out sprint, building our resources slowly during winter so we're ready to bloom in spring."
• "Movement is so much more than shaping our body; it’s about shaping our life."

In This Episode:

• What it means to "restock your physical resources" and why it's important.
• The four pillars of physical well-being: strength, endurance, mobility, and balance.
• How to approach movement in different "seasons of life" and align with the rhythm of the year.
• Aly’s personal insights on postpartum recovery and finding balance as a new mom.
