Awareness In Motion with Angela McMillan

Ep. 2 - Your Nervous System Protects Your Current Identity

Angela McMillan — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 11:50:04 GMT

What if the resistance you feel at the edge of something new is not a stop sign?

What if it is the most honest signal your nervous system can send you?

This episode opens backstage. Headdress on. Heels on. About to perform Samba for the first time in front of a live audience in a style my body had never fully rehearsed.

And my nervous system is doing exactly what nervous systems do when they encounter something outside their rehearsed range.

Protecting the identity it already knew.

The resistance you feel when you try to expand, in the gym, online, in your business, on a stage, is not evidence that you are wrong.

It is evidence that your nervous system has registered you are moving beyond its current map of who you are.

For practitioners

The Practitioners Room: a private podcast feed specifically for somatic, Feldenkrais, Pilates, yoga, and wellness practitioners, is live now.

Three episodes going deep into the nervous system of visibility. Why your expertise is not the problem. Why your identity is. And what rehearsal actually looks like for someone building a visible practice.

This feed is separate from the public podcast. It is specifically for you.

That is exactly where you want to be.

This podcast is recorded on Kaurna land in Adelaide, South Australia. I acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of this country and pay my respects to elders past and present.

This season Awareness In Motion moves deeper, from somatic movement into embodied identity. How your nervous system shapes who you become. What you have been rehearsing. And how that changes.

Ep 1 - You are not stuck, you are rehearsed

Angela McMillan — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:51:22 GMT

Episode 1: You Are Not Stuck. You Are Rehearsed.

What if the inconsistency in your business, your goals, your focus, isn't a capability problem?

What if it's a nervous system still rehearsing an older version of you?

In this first episode of the relaunched Awareness In Motion, Angela McMillan takes you inside a real season. Adelaide Fringe Festival. Six days a week of fitness training. Single-income household logistics. A programme relaunch. And a personal activation is happening quietly in the background, all at the same time.

This is not a polished highlight reel. This is what it actually looks like to hold expansion while emotionally activated. To protect your focus without hardening your heart. To step onto the stage while parts of you still feel uncertain.

Angela introduces the core thesis of this season: identity is not decided. It is rehearsed. And drawing on Lisa Feldman Barrett's research on the brain as a prediction machine, she shows why updating your self-concept is not rebranding, it is literally changing what your nervous system believes is available to you.

In this episode:

Why you do not rise to the occasion. You perform what you have rehearsed
The difference between safety and alignment (and why it matters for every decision you make)
Chemistry vs coherence: what leadership actually requires
Why Angela stopped using the term single mum and what she uses instead
What happened between the lawnmower and the back door that became an identity insight
11 years of rehearsal, what compounding actually looks like in a body and a business
How to anchor when personal activation is pulling your attention

Whether you are building a business, raising children, navigating a relationship, training for something physical, or stepping into visibility for the first time, the question is the same.

What are you rehearsing?

This podcast is recorded on Kaurna land in Adelaide, South Australia. I acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of this country and pay my respects to elders past and present.

This season Awareness In Motion moves deeper, from somatic movement into embodied identity. How your nervous system shapes who you become. What you have been rehearsing. And how that changes.

Patricia Zehentmayr's Bio:

Living in a too loud, fast-paced, competitive world always posed challenges for Patricia. Was something wrong with her? In 1996, she was told by a psychologist that no, nothing was wrong; she actually had a trait shared by 15-20% of people - that of being a Highly Sensitive Person. This started her on a path to learn all she could to navigate this trait, leaning into its advantages. Along the way, she mastered Feldenkrais, Emotional Freedom Technique, and Inner Reconciliation to communicate with the nervous system skillfully. It is her passion to share these gentle methods with other HSPs.

If you find yourself wondering is your movement limitations because you are growing old, this episode will inform you of what is possible at any age.

Let's Get REAL! TV 8 of 15. How are flexibility and feeling resilient related with Angela McMillan

Angela McMillan — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 01:19:49 GMT

Are you feeling uneasy, disconnected, off-balance?

Finding it difficult to make decisions?

Hard to find peace and calm?

These past few years have been a roller coaster ride from Hala (a Marvel universe where you would be physically exhausted from just standing up).

Many people are having conversations about how can we build resilience - the ability to bounce forward (there is no going back) from the current challenges.

To find a place of calm within the storm of what we are experiencing.

The Feldenkrais Method can help you to cultivate a feeling of resilience. Exploring balance, neutrality, and “acture” (as opposed to posture), including biomechanical support, contributes to one’s sense in relation to the world around them.

OR simply, the body experiences stability and support, to be able to experience resilience.

One of the reasons I created the Movement Online Academy is to help people build resilience by experiencing Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons.

Core to all of Moshe Feldenkrais’s teachings is that all emotional and intellectual ideas have physical correlation, experienced through the body’s contractions, sensations, biochemistry, and much more.

Join us for a discussion on resilience and flexibility on Let's Get Real TV with Angela McMillan in a two-part series. Episode 7 and 8.

Quality in Motion

Finding your inner pretzel without tying yourself in knots

We can’t stop the clock but we can influence HOW we’re getting older.

By using tools of neuroplasticity, you can change your body, brain and habits at any age. By developing your attention & sensory awareness to enhance the quality of your movements, you can improve balance, breathing, coordination, posture and more. This improvement extends beyond movement into daily life, from routine tasks to regular exercise. The Feldenkrais Method-based movement lessons can bring years of enjoyable mobility, inspiring you to stay active, creative and engaged throughout midlife and beyond.

Your 14-Day Pelvis Program with Ralph Hadden

Angela McMillan — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 04:00:53 GMT

I had a lovely conversation with Ralph Hadden about his new book, “Your 14 Day Pelvis Program”.

Ralph’s book features a wonderful training program for the pelvis, pelvic floor and whole self. There is a movement lesson for each day, guiding you step by step through exploring, clarifying and mobilising your pelvis, pelvic floor, lower back, hip joints and whole body. Plus there is supplementary material on the anatomy and biomechanics of your muscles, bones, connective tissues and nervous system and on sexual wellbeing. The exercises and anatomy are beautifully illustrated by diagrams and photos. Ralph shares how his book evolved and his process for making the movement lessons clear and easy to follow.

Feldenkrais and Tensegrity with Richard Goldsand

Angela McMillan — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 09:12:08 GMT

Interesting conversation with Richard Goldsand on his journey to exploring tensegrity with in The Feldenkrais Method.

Tensegrity - or tensile integrity - is a type of structural model that relies on the continuous balance of tension and compression within an interconnected structure. If you pull or strain one part, you create a push on another part and vice versa. If there is no push, you won’t have the pull.

The body is an interconnected system that operates as a tensegrity model.

This means to experience easy and harmonious movement, we need to create equal and opposite push/pull or tension/compression within the body. When the body overworks or underworks too much or too little (or not at all), the structural integrity is thrown out of balance.

Richard's BIO

For those of us who have fallen in love with the Feldenkrais Method and its work, sometimes it’s hard to understand how come people don’t get “it“. Our work can seem magical, and mysterious, or sometimes I/we didn’t understand “how “ this miraculous experience just happened. The intersection of the Feldenkrais Method and the Tensegrity model I believe allows us to have a more accurate internal experience which allows us to explain some of these moments.

Rich has worked successfully with artistic performers, high-achieving athletes, individuals wishing to combat everyday stressors of life, and medical professionals seeking complementary therapies for clients.

Since 2000 Rich has taught the Feldenkrais Method in the ASU Dance Department and has served as Feldenkrais Educational consultant for various ASU Athletic teams including men’s baseball, football, and women’s basketball. He also trained members of the US Olympic Diving Team and in his private practice he has worked with prominent professional athletes.

Rich has been sharing his work for the past 30 years, from his private practice to his own Feldenkrais/Tensegrity workshops in Germany, Austria ,Japan and Australia, to assisting in Feldenkrais Training Programs worldwide.

Rich Goldsand was trained in Marin County, California. Rich was first introduced to the Feldenkrais® Method in 1988 through his oldest daughter who was receiving lessons for her own movement difficulties. He began his studies of mind/body perspectives and human potential when he became certified in the Feldenkrais Method® In 1994.

Awakening Movements for freedom with Lisa Ponichter-Stanley

Angela McMillan — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 21:40:00 GMT

As a teen, Lisa fell down a flight of stairs which caused extreme pain and started her on a journey of healing and ultimately freedom. A fascinating story on how her search for healing led her to discover and practice tools of meditation, higher self-communication, self dream-interpreting and noticing nature signs, and finally to Feldenkrais. These discoveries helped her to re-remember that we are so much more than our physical self, and have a Self-connected with the Universe which includes ways to heal, even for those with stubborn pain. It's her passion to share Feldenkrais and inspire hope on your own journey to more pleasure and freedom in your life. Enjoy our conversation.

Lisa Ponichter-Stanley Bio

Life is better when you can tap into the JOY of what you love without the burden of pain hindering you or stopping you. Over the past 21 years, Lisa has helped people achieve feeling great again melting pain patterns and returning to what they love. She utilizes her rich understanding of the body through her PT education and harnesses the power of communicating with the brain and nervous system through the Feldenkrais approach. Lisa helps people achieve the bliss that comes when they can again do what they love!

Yoga and Feldenkrais with Erifily Nikola

Angela McMillan — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 21:39:00 GMT

Erifily create the first Feldenkrais app. I had an amazing chat with her about how she fell into dance, Yoga and Feldenkrais practitioner.

In this episode of Awareness in Motion, Angela welcomes Erifily Nikola, all the way from Greece. Erifily shares her background in movement and how she got into yoga and Feldenkrais.

Erifily started with belly dancing, which she found attracted to due to the grounded, natural movements for the body. She then got into yoga for the fitness aspect of her dancing, and eventually became a yoga teacher. During her yoga training, she was introduced to Feldenkrais by her assistant trainer and has since been practising and teaching it.

Erifily highlights the difference between belly dance and ballet, with the former being based on natural movements and the latter being unnatural. She also shares her belief in going big and turning her interests into professions.

Aikido is a martial art that focuses on not opposing force but rearranging it in space. The practitioner uses the force and energy of their opponent to control their movements.

Focusing on physical movement and mindfulness can help people navigate challenging times. Feldenkrais can be a tool for personal growth and resilience building. Erifily teaches both live and online classes for yoga, Feldenkrais, and awareness in movement.

Erifily feels that online classes allow them to reach a wider audience but that there is a difference in the energy and interaction of live classes.

Erifily believes that tools like Feldenkrais can help people navigate difficult times and come out stronger, but acknowledges that it can be easier to take the easy way out and take medication to cope.

Erifily Nikola Bio

Erifily is a certified Feldenkrais Practitioner (2012) and Kripalu Yoga Teacher (2008) with a passion for both the human body and the human potential. Her favourite pastimes are anatomy, aikido, clowning and dancing. Currently, Erifily lives in Athens, Greece and teaches Online Feldenkrais lessons in Greek & English. In her classes, she offers people the space and time to unfold themselves.

Recovering from back pain Jutta von Bieberstein

Angela McMillan — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 21:38:00 GMT

Jutta von Bieberstein Bio

My passion is to bring joy of movement to my clients while responding to their individual needs. They strengthen their resilience and feel freer and lighter in body and mind. 17 years ago without warning, a herniated disc hit me. I could no longer sit, walk, lie down - the pain was omnipresent. My professional and social life collapsed. I decided to take the Feldenkrais training and eventually there was light at the end of the tunnel. For more than 10 years now I have been passing on my wealth of experience in group and individual sessions and helping my clients on their way to a better life.

Move away from pain into a stronger you with with Christine Germain

Angela McMillan — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 21:33:00 GMT

Christine had the unthinkable happen while training to become a dancer at conservatory school. A pelvic injury stopped her in her tracks. So painful she was unable to dance for months having to watch class from the sidelines. Finding relief with the Feldenkrais method she was able to return to dance and travel the world to learn other dance styles. Enjoy our conversation about her journey to recovery and what she does now to help others struggling with pain.

Christine Germain BIO

After dealing with chronic pelvic pain and seeing all sorts of professionals, and then being hit by a car, the Feldenkrais Method is what helped me the most. It wasn’t instant relief, but it brought well-being that became louder than the pain at first, and slowly the pain dissolved. This life-changing adventure allowed me to get back to dancing, circus training and to get stronger than ever. I empathize with clients and I am proud to be stubborn…because I believe strongly that we can improve their well-being together.

Angela McMillan — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 21:31:00 GMT

Ralph loved working with bodies from a young age, giving his family members massages. This led him to become a massage therapist and open a training school to teach others. In the pursuit of learning more bodywork practices, he discovered Feldenkrais. His first lesson at first was strange thinking how can this slow moved be doing anything. Lying on the floor moving slowly, when he come to stand up he realised how powerful the practice is.

Listen to the episode hear Ralph talk about his experience.

Welcome - How slow movement can transform many aspects of your life. Helping humans find peace.

Angela McMillan — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 02:28:09 GMT

Are you feeling stressed, anxious about life, or struggling with nagging pains or chronic pain?

Feeling like your fitness training, yoga practice and/or dance performance is stagnating hit a plateau that you can’t seem to get past?

I have found that moving slowly with awareness of what you are doing can have a positive impact on all the challenges I mentioned as well as some often surprising outcomes in many other areas of your life.

How can slow movement have all of these benefits? Sounds counter-intuitive to many things we have been taught. Stick with me and you will discover how it is possible.

Research into neuroplasticity and neuromuscular science is only now discovering the links between slow movement and effects on the brain. Dr. Norman Doidge explores the work of dr. Moshe Feldenkrais in his book the 'The Brains way of Healing'. Highly recommended reading if you are exploring this work for yourself.

On this podcast, you will hear first-hand experiences from practitioners and students of this practice. Stories from suffering extreme pain to finding pleasure in moving again. Challenging depression to feeling calm and at peace.

My mission is to help humans find peace. I believe An extraordinary life starts with your well-being.

I’m the host of the Movement Online Academy, myself and the team would love to welcome you into our free community to continue the conversation after listening to this podcast. Where we like to hang out.
