[party in my plants] 205: “Unmeasure” Your Workouts + Healthify Your Relationship with Movement, with Simi Botic
Manage episode 278603459 series 1429114
Miss Simi Botic is a barre instructor, a health coach, the author of Letting Go Of Leo and the smarty yoga pants wearing brain behind Unmeasured. That last one is basically a ballet-meets-pilates class… but one that focuses on body positivity and self-compassion. (As in diet culture turns of phrase aren’t allowed and body punishing mentalities will be kicked to the curb!) This chat was all about embracing movement that we love in a self-compassionate way that has nothing to do with earning food or shedding calories. This is the podcast episode where we kinda just said it as it is: that there are ways to enjoy your studio or gym or road time because of the joys that come with it. Joys that have nothing to do with weight or body composition! And you know what, just like healthy eating, your workout doesn’t have to suck! For the story on how Simi went from a compulsive exercise obsessed gal to the one who teaches a warm-hug-of-a-body-positive barre class, press play!
Press play to hear:
- How Barre guru Simi Botic changed her negative relationship with exercise
- What’s an exercise obsession and how to spot it
- Why society doesn’t understand unhealthy workout behavior
- Signs it’s time to tone it down with your workout routine
- Joys your workout can bring that have nothing to do with body shape or size
- How diet culture shows up at the studio and at the gym
- Why Barre might be your movement of choice
