About Kathy Kathy Rast is back and talking language-ing again. If you're new to Kathy, she's a Linguistiologist who works with businesses to take what they have and what they naturally do (mostly out of their awareness) and show them ways to leverage what comes easy to them. Once revealed, she helps them with forward-facing words, and then the old feels new, the new is old already, and it just seems to work in the most obvious way that wasn't real until it was.

Today we're chatting with Ben Rashleigh, an ex-chef turned passionate Pilates instructor who's sharing tips on how to keep moving even while you're at your desk. We dive into:

• Finding movement that is right for you
• How our bodies work when we're not moving
• The benefits of standing up every 15 minutes
• Setting up our desk up in a way that allows you to keep moving

About Ben For the better part of a decade Ben dedicated himself to a career as a fine dining chef, both here in Australia and in Europe. Years of 60-plus hour weeks being hunched over a bench, caused chronic lower back pain and forced him to wear a brace on a daily basis just to accomplish simple tasks. Ben's physiotherapist recommended he take up Pilates to combat the damage, where he quickly developed a passion for the discipline, which in turn prompted him to enrol at National Pilates Training and obtain his Diploma in 2012. Ben truly believes that every single person deserves a chance at living their best life just like he had the opportunity to do so in 2012, which has led him to help people to participate fully in their own life through the Pilates Method and so over the course of the last few years Ben has developed a multifaceted workspace exercise health program that can be participated in many different workspaces from Hospitality to the Corporate worker. In 2020 Ben also launched The let me take a selfie podcast, which is a self-health podcast purely to enrich and educate the community on a multitude of topics that can improve our health and wellness and not always having to commit more to your day to achieve that. The rest of Ben's working week is filled out with instructing tailored Pilates sessions at Aligned for Life Pilates Melbourne and teaching the Introduction to Anatomy for National Pilates Training where he looks to teach the basics of Anatomy to future Movement educators through to the most practical way possible.
