raising the barre with Maya Bryant

The Wellness Checkers are dancing with joy over our interview with Maya Bryant aka @barreempowered!! Maya is a non-diet Pilates & barre fitness instructor and holds a degree in Exercise Science as well as a Masters of Public Health. In this fitness-focused guest episode we chat about how focusing on aesthetics in fitness can often have the opposite effect we think it will, social determinants of health and why doing "Carrie Underwood's leg workout" won't make you look like her, as well as how to help a young dancer in your life foster a positive relationship with food & body, and the ways barre fitness & Pilates can become more welcoming and inclusive. Time for your wellness check!!
