You might be forgiven, when you look at today’s guest’s Instagram grid, for thinking she has superhuman strength and is obviously one of those lucky people who was born as a talented sports person. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth!
Shelby Copeland is truly tenacious and having had to overcome multiple hurdles, she is a shining example of what hard work, consistency, but particularly knowing your own body and working in tune with it, can do.
I really enjoyed our wide-ranging, empowering conversation that covered topics ranging from our common ground; natural movement coaching to hypermobility, parkour for seniors, training in tune with your menstrual cycle and, Shelby’s personal interest; Ninja training.
