This fortnight on That Physical Culture Podcast, the girls sit down with the incredibly talented Ash Mensforth, founder and creator of Avant Garde Method.

Ash brings a wealth of experience from her career as a professional dancer, and this conversation is packed with insight for anyone serious about improving their physie technique.

We dive into the big topics every physie girl thinks about (and occasionally stresses about):

turnout, leg lifts, strength, control… and how to actually train your body to support what you’re asking it to do.

Ash breaks down the mechanics behind movement in a way that makes sense, while also addressing one of the most important (and often overlooked) areas of physie — injury prevention. Because pushing your body is one thing… keeping it functioning is another.

We also chat through Ash’s journey as a professional dancer, what she’s learnt along the way, and how those experiences have shaped the way she now teaches and supports dancers through the Avant Garde Method.

It’s equal parts education, inspiration, and a gentle reality check on how we’re all treating our bodies.

If you’ve ever:

questioned your turnout, forced a leg lift that had no business being that high, or ignored a niggle hoping it would magically disappear… This episode is for you.

If you’re looking for official guidance or technical instruction, this isn’t your place. But if you love physie and the culture that comes with it, you’re very much in the right room.
