In this weeks episode we chat to one of the ONLY master Pilates instructors in NZ, Kim West.

Kim, in her lovable and radiant way, shares her insights and learnings from a lifetime of movement. She shares intimately about her journey with a serious illness in her teens and twenties, and how that lead her to discover Pilates and live a life dedicated to wellness.

Kim helps us to understand the Pilates method, its intersections with yoga, and shares some top tips for those looking to get started.

A great listen for anyone with a passion for movement!

Sarah shares her journey with the use of invitational language in yoga and beyond with us in this ep; covering everything from where this language originates from, why it is so powerful in giving the student agency and choice, how it can "shift the power dynamic" between teacher and student, and how we can start to incorporate this in to our everyday interactions.

Within this podcast episode we discuss topics including trauma and sexual abuse, which some listeners may find emotionally challenging. Listener discretion is advised.
