If you listen to this podcast then most likely you are a pretty active person.

Depending on what your fitness or athletic goals are, you might spend anywhere from 4 to 20 hours a week engaged with your body in movement and training (hopefully with awareness and work around your mobility).

But even with people who are putting in a lot of work in the gym or training, that’s still only roughly 12% of your time each week being actively engaged with your body.

So my question is: how engaged are you the other 88 to 98% of the time?

That’s where today’s guest, Luigi Pissani, M.S. comes in.

Luigi is the founder and president of FE:AL - Feeling Everything and Actively Living, a one of a kind lifestyle practice built for the 21st century stress ridden and physically disconnected individual.

Luigi began his career in health as an exercise physiologist turned strength and conditioning coach after graduating with a Master's from the University of Miami marrying his innate creativity to his academic and professional background.

He developed this practice as a path to authentic embodiment in the body, mind, and spirit. Known as the art of inner peace, FE:AL is a bridge between many different approaches in wellness that promotes not only strength and mobility, but also self expression, presence and stress and pain relief.

Luigi believes the human body is a canvas for beautiful works of art and relishes in guiding individuals in their own masterpieces.
