What happens when motherhood breaks the life you once knew… and asks you to rebuild from a completely different place? In this episode of the Sovereign Mamas Podcast, host Julia Jerg is joined by Alexe Woods, founder of Universal Movement and creator of the Moveology method — a rhythmic, body-based approach to self-care guided by the sun, moon, and astrological cycles. Alexe’s journey began in a completely different world. As a former dance teacher and co-founder of a large London-based academy, she lived a fast-paced, physically demanding life. But everything shifted when she became a mother. After moving from London to a small village in France, losing her familiar identity, and navigating extreme sleep deprivation with a newborn, Alexe found herself burned out, disconnected, and searching for something deeper. What followed wasn’t just healing — it was a complete reorientation of how she lived, moved, and cared for herself. Through discovering Yoga Nidra (non-sleep deep rest), tracking moon cycles, and eventually studying astrology in depth, Alexe began to piece herself back together — not through force, but through rhythm. This became the foundation of Moveology — a simple yet powerful self-care system that helps women align with natural cycles instead of pushing against them. -- 🌿 Key Insight from This Episode Self-care isn’t about adding more to your already full life. It’s about removing the pressure to operate the same way every day — and instead learning to move with your natural rhythms. One of the most powerful takeaways: ✨ If there is ONE time each month to rest deeply — it’s the dark moon. Not when you’re already burned out.Not when your body forces you.But as a preventative rhythm. -- 🌸 About Alexe Woods Alexe Woods is the founder of Universal Movement and creator of Moveology — a self-care method that blends movement, astrology, moon cycles, and nervous system support.
