Energy is not something we need to find — it’s already within us.
Through Pilates, we clear the pathway, awaken every part of the body, and realign our energy.
In this episode, we explore the seven chakras, their natural stages of development, and how movement can rebalance what life has left unfinished.
In this episode, we explore how Pilates improves sexual health, vitality, and intimacy — and why movement is the key to reclaiming our energy and confidence.
We lift the taboo around sexuality and explore how Pilates restores vitality, intimacy, and joy.
In this episode, we open a raw, honest conversation about the connection between Pilates and sexual health — from energy flow, to confidence, to real scientific evidence.
From Joseph Pilates’ bold statement in the 1930s that “Pilates is good for sex”, to today’s research, we’ll explore:
✨ How Pilates restores energy, vitality, and sensuality
✨ Why our core (upper, mid, and lower) holds the key to our sexual health
✨ The role of the pelvic floor and the 14 muscles that directly affect sexual pleasure
✨ How movement can improve libido, arousal, and erectile function — naturally, without pills
✨ Why sitting all day cuts our energy in half and what we can do instead
This isn’t just about exercise. It’s about reclaiming our aliveness, intimacy, and confidence through movement.
📌 Listen now — and remember Joseph’s words: Pilates is good for sex.
Movement isn’t punishment — it’s partnership.
In this episode, we share how to move from self-criticism to self-trust, and how consistent, gratitude-based movement can transform our health, energy, and relationship with our body.
We also break down the 3-part Iva Pilates System so we can move smarter, live longer, and feel better — together...
We don’t need to “fix” ourselves — our bodies are not broken. They already hold the wisdom to heal, adapt, and thrive.
In this episode, we shift from self-criticism to self-trust, and explore how movement reflects our emotions, why our bodies are always on our side, and how listening changes everything.
🎯 Takeaway: The most powerful thing we can do for our bodies is to stop fighting them — and start listening.
Our body isn’t just a vessel — it’s the very foundation of the life we want to live.
And yet, in a world moving faster than ever, we’re being pulled further away from it.
This week, we reflect on a message from Dan Martell and go deep into a truth we can’t ignore:
We can’t build a meaningful, thriving life in a body we choose to neglect.
In this episode:
🔹 Why our body affects every goal, relationship, and result
🔹 How AI and modern life make it easy to disconnect from physicality
🔹 What it means to truly embody movement through Pilates
🔹 How showing up for our body changes the way we show up for everything else
🎧 Tune in if we’re ready to reconnect, realign, and move with purpose — every single day.
New episodes every week.
This week, we’re opening up a conversation that so many women are silently wrestling with:
Do we really need to hit the gym and lift heavy weights?
Or is there another, smarter way?
In this episode, we take a closer look at what happens to the female body after 40 — hormonally, physically, energetically — and why blindly following the latest “muscle mass” trends might not serve us.
We talk about the difference between muscle tone and mass, the role of inflammation and cortisol, and why your nervous system and hormones should guide your training strategy.
This is not just theory — it’s experience. From post-birth recovery to real Pilates work, we share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how to make sustainable choices for your long-term vitality.
🎙️ Let’s stop working against our nature.
Let’s start moving with intelligence, presence, and purpose.
🎧 Press play and discover why Pilates can be enough — when done with the right focus, the right form, and the right meaning.
🧠 Listen. Learn. Transform.
What drives the shape of your body… and the direction of your life?
In this episode, we explore three key decisions — the kind your nervous system makes whether you're aware of them or not. These decisions influence not just how you feel, but how you move, recover, connect, and grow:
What you choose to focus on
The meaning you assign to what happens
The actions you take (or avoid)
Backed by research in behavioral neuroscience and inspired by the deep life strategies from Tony Robbins, I share how these silent decisions are shaping your body every day — during your workouts, your recovery, your habits, and even your self-talk.
You’ll learn why 80% of physical results depend on focus, how fear and meaning shape the body more than the exercises we do, and how motion — not perfection — is the key to transformation.
This is for anyone who wants to move beyond survival mode and step into embodied strategy — with intention, attention, and action.
✨ Your body is already intelligent. Now it's time to train your focus, rewire your meaning, and move from the inside out.
🎧 Listen now — and don’t just work out. Shape yourself.

In this episode, we explore what it really means when the body feels tight, stiff, or stuck — and why the solution isn’t to try harder, but to understand deeper.
We talk about how tightness can come from shortened muscles, sticky fascia, or internal stress — and how these patterns are often shaped by our emotional state, not just our physical routine.
We look at why mobility needs to come before strength, and why strategy, not intensity, is what creates sustainable results.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still not progressing — this episode is for you.
Because the body hears everything.
And to move forward, we first need to understand what’s holding us back.
In this episode, I break down the shocking stats around physical activity, and why even people who “exercise” often miss the point.
What’s missing isn’t willpower — it’s strategy.
Here’s what we cover:
The real numbers behind consistency and health
Why random workouts won’t build long-term strength or mobility
How to balance mobility, strength & endurance for sustainable progress
What it really means to train 1.5x a week — and why that changes everything
A practical framework to turn your body into an asset, not a liability
This is not a motivational talk. It’s a wake-up call — with a plan.

The words you use shape the way you experience your body. In this episode, I reflect on a powerful moment shared with 10 new Pilates teachers—and one story in particular that reminded us all: your body is always listening.
We explore what happens when we stop pushing and start partnering with the body.
When we stop using harsh words and start speaking with respect.
What if your body isn’t betraying you... but preparing you?
This isn’t just a conversation about movement—this is about redefining your relationship with the one thing that’s been with you every day of your life.
Let’s start using a language that heals.
🌀 A weekly moment to reconnect to your body, your rhythm, and what really matters.
I’m Iva, and I’m glad you’re here.
For years, I’ve seen people come to movement with good intentions — but without a real plan. And that’s why they quickly run into overtraining, pain, stagnation... or simply give up.
In this episode, I share something that has transformed both my personal and professional practice: your body’s ideal allocation.It’s a way to see your body as a system that demands thoughtful investment — not impulsive decisions.Instead of just “going to a workout,”
I invite you to ask yourself:
– Do you know where your body is today in its cycle of recovery, stability, and performance?
– Do you know what you’re investing in when you move?
– Is your movement serving your body — or wearing it down?
The model I share in this episode is made up of three key segments, which I call allocationsThis strategy has helped me understand not just how to exercise, but why — and what my body really needs in every moment.
That’s why I believe Pilates is a unique practice — because it supports you in all stages of this physical allocation. From recovery, through stabilization, to performance.
Without force.
Without drama.
With presence.
