The Power of YOU: How Movement Gets You to Where You’re GoinG

By Lavinia Errico, Equinox Co-founder, Wellnes Expert, Movejoy

Movement isn’t just about fitness. It’s not about burning calories or hitting step counts. It’s about remembering who you are at your most alive. It’s about reconnecting with your breath, your heartbeat, your pulse of vitality. It’s about shaking off the weight of the world and coming home to your body.  It’s about remembering something essential: You are a living, breathing celebration. And your body was built to move. 

When you move, you circulate life. You stretch out tension, expand your lungs, stimulate your organs, and awaken your senses. You step into a version of yourself that’s more grounded, more expressive, more ready to meet the world with clarity and calm. 

Because here’s the thing: when your body feels good, everything shifts. You communicate with more ease. You respond to stress with more grace. That spilt milk instance? It’s no longer a meltdown. It’s just a moment. You grab a rag, breathe, and move on. 

Movement makes it easier to access the best parts of ourselves—the patient, joyful, open-hearted parts that can get buried under stress and stagnation. It gives us space to respond rather than react, to connect more deeply with others, and to feel fully present in our lives. 

You don’t need fancy equipment or a rigid routine. You just need to start. Roll your shoulders. Take a walk. Dance in your kitchen. Breathe deeply. Let your body remind you that you’re alive. 

And not because you “should,” but because you get to. Because your body is a miracle. Because your life deserves to be felt—in your muscles, your breath, your heartbeats. 

Because movement isn’t just something we do. It’s something we are. It’s how we express joy, process emotion, and live fully. When we move, we celebrate life.

So wherever you are, and however you're feeling, start there. Start small. Start with joy. And let that joy move through you—in every step, stretch, and breath.

MoveJoy is just that - a community, a space, an opportunity to pay homage to your aliveness and your beautifully designed body that takes you everywhere you need to go.

Let your body lead. Let JOY reverberate through your bones! Your spirit will follow.
