What if the way we’ve been taught to stand is getting in the way of how we’re designed to move?

After the extraordinary response to last week’s personal episode, Joanne continues the conversation with something wonderfully practical - beginning with a sentence she used herself for decades:

“Stand with your feet hip-width apart.”

So why doesn’t she say it anymore?

This episode is an invitation to look a little differently at the remarkable body you inhabit: one designed to wobble, recoil, adapt, recover and dance its way through life.

Joanne explores the natural spring and intelligence already within us, and shares a simple micromovement you can try for yourself right away. You might discover something surprising about the way your body prefers to balance, turn and move! Because perhaps moving better for longer begins with listening more closely to the body we already have - and trusting a little more of its innate wisdom...
