Ep. 8 | Shari Berkowitz; The Classical & Biomechanical Bridge
Pregnant pigs and Pilates is on the forefront of Jenna's mind - she shares a story that ties back into her work in the studio. Shari Berkowitz joins the conversation to share her experience in how having questions without answers bridged her worlds of the classical work with Romana and her study of biomechanics and functional anatomy. She shares with us the background of The Vertical Workshop and she and Jenna relate over their attitudes of 'short hair, don't care' and more importantly, the role of anxiety in their lives. We also have a celebration on our hotline!
