This conversation with Diana May left me feeling seen and understood in ways I didn't even realize I needed. I recently re-connected with Diana on Instagram as a result of my quest to clear out a lot of the noise on my feed. I unfollowed a LOT of big accounts and the result was me getting to see content from people in my real life who I had lost touch with. One of them being Diana--who was one for my first and favorite yoga teachers. After discovering that we were both talking about similar concepts in different contexts (same shit sandwich) I knew I needed to bring her on the podcast!
Diana May is a life-long learner, yoga teacher, environmentalist, and somatic practitioner. She has taught full-time for 14 years and since the pandemic has transitioned to being an entirely online yoga teacher. She believes the big-scale shifts she wants to see in the world comes down to nervous system regulation, the ability to truly slow down, enjoy life in the present moment, and build a compassionate relationship with your full experience.
On this episode we talk about:
- Diana's backstory and how she came to be doing the work she does today.
- How the "nervous system" is a buzzword in fitness and wellness spaces and what we actually mean when we're talking about it.
- The stages of menopause as it relates to the nervous system and how it applies to movement of all sorts.
- How you might be getting into the late reproductive stage and stages of menopause earlier than you think and some symptoms to look out for. (AKA you're not going insane.)
- Shifts you can make in your life to support yourself through it.
- How different types of movement (yoga, strength training, and otherwise) can potentially support our nervous systems or push us into deeper disregulation?
- How to tune in to know what our bodies actually need.
- So many other mind blowing things!
