Ep. 51: Movement to Support You in the Season of Life You're In

Modern Body: Pilates & Movement for Life

Life isn’t static, so why should your movement be? Whether you’re in a season of deep rest, rebuilding strength, or pushing limits, movement should support you—not drain you. In this episode of Modern Body, Aly DiRoma invites you to rethink fitness through the lens of adaptability, tuning into what your body truly needs in this moment rather than chasing an arbitrary standard of "doing enough."

Aly explores how movement can align with both the external seasons of the year and the personal seasons of life—whether that’s postpartum recovery, navigating chronic pain, managing stress from a demanding job, or simply honoring a shift in energy levels. She shares a conversation with a friend struggling with a persistent back issue and the mindset shift that transformed her approach to movement. The takeaway? Sometimes less is truly more, and intuitive movement is the secret to long-term strength and vitality.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why movement isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula and how to customize it for your season of life
• How seasonal shifts can inspire changes in your movement practice
• The importance of listening to your body over external fitness messaging
• The myth of “not doing enough” and how to rewrite your relationship with exercise
• Practical ways to incorporate movement that nourishes rather than depletes
