Unpacking Proprioception
Notas do episódio
Proprioception is often described as the body’s “sixth sense,” but what does that really mean for movement quality? In this episode of Pilates Perspectives, Joy talks with Misha Von Bechtolsheim about proprioception, kinesthesia, and the sensory systems that shape how we move through the world.
Together, they unpack the relationship between proprioception, kinesthesia, the vestibular system (balance), and the visual system. You’ll learn how these systems work within the neural hierarchy to help the brain make better movement decisions and improve neuromuscular control.
Misha explains why high-quality sensory input is essential for improving movement quality, developing body trust, and supporting the nervous system. Plus, she shares simple exercises you can do at home to improve proprioception, enhance body (somatic) awareness, and use sensation training for more connected, confident movement.
