In this episode my guest is Sayonara Motta, the woman who built AntiGravity across Italy. A competitive athlete from Brazil in rhythmic gymnastics and aerobics, she found the AntiGravity hammock at a point when years of training and stress had worn her body down, and it gave her a way back to movement without the impact.

Over more than fifteen years she has grown one of AntiGravity's strongest communities anywhere, building hundreds of studios and training thousands of instructors.

We talk about her path from athlete to leader, the transformation the hammock brought to her own body, why Italians embraced a practice that turns you upside down, and the loyalty and community that hold it all together. Her line for the whole conversation: your mission became my mission.

If you already know AntiGravity, welcome home. If you are new, welcome aboard.

Hidden in the force that pulls us down is the energy to lift us up. Fly high.
