  • 30. Helen Phelan on Intuitive Exercise and Building a Digital Business in a Pandemic
    Helen Phelan is a body neutral intuitive pilates instructor and founder of digital pilates and mindful fitness platform, Helen Phelan Studio. As an ex professional dancer and eating disorder survivor, Helen's approach to exercise is based on her lived experience that diet culture and the no excuses mindset keeps people stuck in a bad body image loop that makes them dread movement- despite its mood and energy boosting benefits.She refined her methodology so that it could not only fit into her life in a non-harmful way post recovery, but to support others heal their relationships with movement and their own bodies + feel strong, empowered with intuitive exercise. She works with clients 1:1, in groups, workshops, and through her on demand platform to help people stop thinking of exercise as a way to burn off food and instead as a self-care tool to feel your best, both mentally and physically.She's been featured in InStyle, HuffingtonPost, Well+Good, Coveteur, MindBodyGreen and when not on her mat, Helen is often found rewatching musicals, snuggling with her rescue pup, or hiking in the Catskills.Online Studio/Booking Live Sessions and Classes: HelenPhelanStudio.com50% off first month of HPS with code TOOSMART: https://tv.helenphelanstudio.com/orders/customer_info?o=51621 (valid on Essentials Plus Monthly only)Blog: HelenPhelanStudio.com/journalCatskills Summer Retreat: https://HelenPhelanStudio.com/hps-retreat
