In this Episode

If summer makes you nostalgic for campfires and cabin bunks, you're in for a treat—Modern Body style. Aly DiRoma introduces the Modern Body Summer Camp, a 4-week series designed to nourish your body with movement and your spirit with curiosity. This isn’t your typical “summer challenge." Instead, Aly invites us into a seasonal rhythm that honors both structure and softness, action and stillness.

Drawing on her own childhood memories and her desire for a more playful, intuitive approach to movement, Aly walks us through what to expect in the upcoming Summer Camp series. Each week centers on a specific theme—Posture & Spine, Conscious Core, Hip Health, and a surprise final week—all packed with daily classes and gentle guidance. This episode shows how movement can complement every version of your summer self.

Aly makes a compelling case for trading in the “no pain, no gain” mindset for one that feels more like self-mothering. Her message? You don’t need another challenge—you need a joyful commitment to your well-being.

You'll learn:

• Why Aly ditched the idea of a traditional challenge—and what she's offering instead
• How to find balance between structure and flexibility in your movement practice
• What “complementary movement” is and how it supports your real-life activities
• The weekly themes of Modern Body’s Summer Camp and how to get involved
• How to embrace movement as a form of self-trust, not punishment
