Universal Principles Of Human Movement with Caitlin Casella


Listen Later

If you’re curious about integrating knowledge from other movement modalities into your practice & teaching, this episode will help you understand the fundamentals of human movement that can be applied across disciplines. 

Today’s guest, Caitlin Casella’s work is inspired by yoga, functional strength and mobility, developmental movement, somatics, self-massage, meditation, and conscious relaxation. Her vision for movement practice expands beyond the self to support ease in participation with our families, communities, and the world. She operates from an antifragile stance, one that views the human body as robust, adaptable, and resilient. As Caitlin pursues her Clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy, her aim is to make movement physically accessible to the general population and more widely available to folks across socioeconomic backgrounds. She strives to educate about the science of the human body while making space for the unknown.
