With endless advice about how we should move, eat and look after ourselves, wellness can sometimes feel like just another thing we’re trying to get right.

In this conversation, Erin sits down with Shelley Kamil, Pilates instructor, wellness coach and founder of Rhythmic Pilates, whose approach to movement is as much about how we feel as how we look.

Shelley’s path to Pilates wasn’t a straight one. From growing up in fashion and running her own store to becoming a mother and eventually building Rhythmic Pilates, her experiences have shaped a philosophy centred on tuning out the outside noise, trusting your own body and finding a way of moving that brings a little more ease into everyday life.

Warm, thoughtful and refreshingly realistic, this is a conversation about movement, motherhood and learning to give ourselves a little more grace.

· How to quieten the noise around wellness and work out what actually feels right for you.

· Why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health, movement and wellbeing.

· How Pilates can support your mental health as well as your physical strength.

· Why slowing down and focusing on movement can help create a sense of calm.

· How motherhood changed Shelley’s relationship with her body and her approach to wellness.

· Why women need to give themselves more time and grace after having children.

· How to get better at listening to what your body is telling you rather than constantly pushing through.

· Why small, realistic changes can be more sustainable than trying to overhaul everything at once.

Key Quotes

“We all need to quieten that noise a little, because we can’t do everything we’re being advised to do.”

“It’s very hard to trust your inner voice when everything’s being questioned or second-guessed.”

“When you ease your mind, you radiate that ease and it affects everyone around you.”

“We’re just not kind enough to ourselves. You can do everything, but you need a little bit of leeway.”
