138: Unlearning The “More is Better” Exercise Mentality with Kara Duval

In this episode, I sit down with Kara Duval, founder of Kara Duval Pilates. We discuss the mental release exercise provides, our relationships with exercise, and unlearning the “more is better” mentality when it comes to movement. Kara shares how ballet has impacted her body image and how she’s learned to love her body through pilates. We also discuss the importance of being less results-driven and taking a step back to be more present.
