Pilates: The Mindful Movement for Longevity and Strength | ✨ In My Pilates Girl Era ✨ | Guest Interview with Alysia Pope Ehret

In this podcast episode, I wanted to bring on Alicia Pope as an expert in Pilates and discusses her well-rounded approach to fitness and nutrition. We challenge the belief that heavy weightlifting is the only way for women to achieve a strong, toned body and instead promote the benefits of Pilates.

Alicia emphasizes the importance of shifting the mindset around exercise and focusing on how it feels rather than the aesthetic result. They discuss the different types of Pilates and its benefits, including improved posture, detoxification, and reduced bloating.

Alicia shares her personal journey with Pilates and how it has positively impacted her relationship with her body.

They both agree that Pilates is a valuable form of strength training that promotes overall well-being and longevity. Alicia also discusses her online platform, Purely You, which offers a variety of Pilates and health coaching videos. Use code: insync for 1 month FREE!
