Ep. 54: Does your Anterior Pelvic Tilt really need to be fixed?

Modern Body: Pilates & Movement for Life

Is your pelvis really out of whack, or are we just overthinking it? In this episode of Modern Body, Aly DiRoma invites listeners to unpack the buzz around anterior pelvic tilt—a posture pattern that’s been labeled as a “problem” but may actually be just part of your body’s unique story. With her signature mix of grounded wisdom and Pilates expertise, Aly clears the confusion around this popular postural scapegoat and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.

Spoiler alert: you probably don’t need to “fix” it—at least not in the way fitness culture has led you to believe.

Aly dives into how our bodies naturally adapt to the positions we repeat most—like sitting, standing, and even scrolling—and how those adaptations aren’t flaws but feedback. Rather than chasing symmetry or rigidity, Aly encourages us to work with our bodies, not against them.

Pilates, especially the Groundwork classes inside Modern Body, becomes the gentle recalibration tool—a way to reset without obsessing. As Aly says, “There’s no posture finish line—it’s a conversation, not a command.”

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why anterior pelvic tilt isn’t the villain it’s made out to be
• How posture patterns develop and shift over time
• The role of Pilates in restoring functional movement—not just fixing aesthetics
• What “dynamic alignment” really means (hint: it’s not standing up straighter)
• How you can feel more at home in your body without micromanaging every angle

Whether you’ve been told your pelvis is tilting the “wrong” way or you’re simply tired of trying to fix yourself, this episode is a deep breath for your nervous system and your self-image.
