In this episode, Dr. Meredith MacKenzie sits down with Sky Corbett-Methot, a yoga teacher, holistic nutritionist, and community creator whose prenatal, baby and me, and mama-centric classes have shaped Dr. MacKenzie's own relationship with movement. Sky shares her history as a high-performance gymnast and competitive diver, the abuse and injury that ended her athletic career, and how motherhood became the catalyst for building movement spaces rooted in community rather than competition. This is a conversation about what happens when movement stops being something done to the body and becomes something done with it.

Key takeaways

  • Sky's years as a high-performance gymnast involved 35+ hours of training a week, coaching abuse, and a culture where pain and bodily signals were routinely overridden — patterns she has spent years unlearning
  • A devastating injury, paired with the loss of her closest teammates, marked the breaking point that ended her gymnastics career at fifteen
  • The phrase "do what feels good" is an intentional invitation, not a vague platitude — it's permission to check in with the body rather than push through it
  • Sky describes her classes as "circular communities," spaces where women move through prenatal, baby and me, and mama-centric seasons together, supported the whole way
    Movement can be both healing and energizing, but the same movement pushed past its limit can become depleting — the difference lies in whether it's goal-oriented or attuned to the body
