Description

Gorgeous Listeners, welcome to this week’s episode of Finding Your Way Home,

Today, we're thrilled to welcome onto the podcast a true pioneer in the world of movement and Pilates - the Founder of Polestar Pilates, Dr Brent Anderson.  

Dr Brent will be a familiar name to many of you - an internationally-acclaimed speaker, author, reputed expert in physical therapy & movement science, and arguably one of the most forward-thinking, community-led Pilates Educators we have. This conversation marks his third feature on the podcast; and a truly personal insight into the passions, principles and deep faith that lie behind his vision. His goal - to carry a spiritual and profoundly humanistic ethos into everything he does - to cultivate not only better movement, better health, but infinitely richer lives. 

In today’s episode, Dr. Brent and I delve into pivotal but lesser-spoken influences on human health, happiness and change. 

We learn his insights on:

  • What "coming home" truly means, and why finding that personal epicentre is so critical to everything we do in the world
  • How to gain clarity on your purpose and unique message, and move beyond the confidence barriers that hold you back
  • Dr. Brent's community-centric vision for society, and the impact of moving from an individualistic to collective view
  • The importance of an ethical and value-based compass, and the impact this has on how we act and are received
  • Dr Brent's own spiritual faith - and how this has guided every aspect of the worldwide pilates organisation he has built
  • Moving through grief, acknowledging suffering and nevertheless, finding the light of gratitude and connection that are its antidote. 

An episode filled with openness, intimacy and the soft dusting of hope - the perfect listen to guide you through your next steps in movement, self-development and leaving your unique imprint on the world.
