INTUITIVEMOVEMENT,CHANGE,EATINGDISORDERRECOVERY,ANDROMANCEWITHHELENPHELAN
This week I spoke with my friend Helen Phelan, a body neutral intuitive pilates instructor and founder of the 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 keeps people stuck in a bad body image loop that makes them dread movement despite its mood and energy boosting benefits. Her methodology is movement in a non-harmful, post-recovery form. We met when I took a class of hers in NYC and have collaborated on events and digital workshops (available here). She's been featured in InStyle, HuffingtonPost, and Well+Good. When she's not working she is snuggling her rescue pup or hiking in the Catskills. In this episode, we discuss communication, patience, bodies, movement, pilates, eating disorder recovery, romantic relationships, and more.
