About this listen
In this episode of Conversations for the Moving Self, Megan and Summer Jupp - yoga teacher, yoga teacher trainer, cycle-conscious coach, and co-founder of Arkspace Wellbeing - explore the tenderness and honesty of practicing through injury, and how slowing down can deepen self-compassion.
Together, they reflect on the quiet pressure to “perform wellness,” and the relief that comes when movement becomes about care instead of perfection. They also speak about the emotional steadiness movement can offer in difficult seasons and the many valid entry points into practice, no matter someone’s age, history, or ability.
Through Summer’s story, the episode touches on healing old narratives around body image and learning to inhabit the body with warmth instead of judgment. This conversation is a gentle reminder that softness, adaptation, and kindness toward ourselves are forms of strength worth honoring.
