Description

This podcast is for the ones who hold space for others—therapists, coaches, educators, healthcare workers, NGO staff, facilitators, and creatives—yet often struggle to make space for themselves. Hosted by Ana, a mindfulness teacher and embodiment facilitator with a background in UX and a passion for thoughtful living, Movement Is My Constant explores how we can stay present, grounded, and resilient while navigating personal growth, life transitions, and the messy in-betweens. Through honest conversations with movement experts, scientists, and thinkers across disciplines, you'll get insights and tools that help you reconnect with your body, build emotional resilience, and move through change with more clarity and ease. You might be wondering... "How can I feel more grounded when life feels overwhelming?" "What does mindfulness actually look like in everyday life?" "How do I keep giving to others without burning out?" "What role does movement play in emotional and mental clarity?" "How do I navigate change when I don’t have a clear plan?" "How can I reconnect with myself after a big life shift?" "Can I grow without constantly pushing myself?" "What are the science-backed ways to feel more present and whole?" If you’re a curious, thoughtful human doing meaningful work—and looking for ways to stay centered while doing it—this podcast is for you. 🎧 Subscribe now and get grounded, insightful episodes that feel like a deep exhale. Each episode delves into blending movement and mindful (or body-mind) practices, embodiment tools, and lived experiences to support your growth, clarity, and well-being—so you can keep showing up for others without losing yourself.
