Our guest, quite literally, wrote the guidebook on how our thoughts and emotions form our physical structures and the unparalleled influence the power of movement has on our mental, emotional, and physiological make up. A passionate movement expert, Aaron Alexander, relays relevant, actionable, and relatable tools for bettering our ability to experience more joy and less pain. In this episode we explore his specific method of healing, “the align method”, including defining and aligning postural archetypes that may be hindering us, his five movement principles that will reshape your body and life, and how honing our senses will give us the edge we need to thrive! So much more than an accomplished manual therapist and movement coach, with an endless list of research and credentials, he’s illustrated a way to make each moment an opportunity of development for your mind, body, and movement, and through this he inspires us to drop restrictions on our capacity to give and receive love, and to remember that our time in these bodies is far too short to limp through life with a guarded heart.
