With the snow forecast and studio closures, I went in yesterday to pre-record today’s class so we wouldn’t miss our January moment. 💫 It's up in the classroom now. Go check it out! This session is a cross-training focused class designed to deepen your understanding of alignment and how your body works as a connected system. We explore: • the chain of the spine — how alignment travels from your head through your pelvis • the chain of the leg — how the hip, knee, ankle, and foot support each other • how these two chains interact to create stability, mobility, and control. This class is all about building awareness so you can move with more efficiency, reduce unnecessary tension, and develop strength that actually supports your technique. You’ll notice how small adjustments can completely change your balance, power, and range of motion. This is the kind of work that helps prevent injury, improve consistency, and give you more confidence in your movement. Take your time with this one. Move slowly. Stay curious. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s awareness. aaaand HAPPY SNOWDAY to everyone cozied up this weekend!❄️

Let’s reflect on the week so far ✨ First: What’s one kind thing you thought about yourself this week? It could be a win, a breakthrough, or even a moment where you felt a little more confident than you did last week. Big or small — take a moment to celebrate yourself. These are the inspo blocks that keep you going. Next: What’s one negative thought you had about yourself this week? It could be as simple as: “I can’t do it.” (I think we’re all guilty of that one sometimes ⬆️😂) Now let’s pause there — because this is where the work begins. ⸻ Let’s rewrite the story 📝 Take that negative thought and flip it into a positive one — but here’s the key 👇 It has to feel believable. Even if you want a thought to be true, if part of you believes it’s impossible, that inner resistance creates a block. So instead of jumping to the end result, make small, believable shifts in your thinking. Let reality catch up — then shift again. ⸻ Example (true story — names changed 🫶🏻) Jenny is working on her pirouettes. She can do a clean double consistently, but every time she pushes for more and falls out, she thinks: “Ugh. I can’t do it. I’m just not good at turning.” Her ultimate goal is five effortless pirouettes. She sees her favorite dancers doing it — and the gap between where she is and where she wants to be starts to feel overwhelming. Frustration builds. Judgment creeps in. Her body tightens in fear — and eventually, she quits for the day. That night, Jenny tries to “think positive” and comes back the next day repeating: “I can do five pirouettes effortlessly.” But her body doesn’t believe it. It’s never done that before. Instead of confidence, she feels pressure. Anxiety. Fear. She tries again — and leaves defeated again. The next day, Jenny tried something different. Instead of repeating “I can’t do it” — or swinging all the way to “I can do five pirouettes effortlessly” — she chose a thought her body could actually believe: “I can do two pirouettes effortlessly, and soon I’ll be doing three.”

Here are 5 ways you can practice receiving corrections without feeling attacked or embarrassed. If you watched my last video on receiving corrections and thought, “This resonates… but how do I actually change this?” — you’re not alone. Here’s something important to remember: You can’t just switch feelings off. They’re shaped by your nervous system and the thoughts running quietly in the background. So instead of pretending to feel confident, we practice a new response. Just like we condition our bodies, we can condition our brains. The 5 tools in this video are small mindset shifts that help you stay open, grounded, and confident when corrections come — without shutting down or taking it personally.

It’s Thursday!! Time to take a breath. Notice what happens in your body or mind when you read this word— PRESSURE 🎯 Drop the FIRST thought or feeling that pops up. No overthinking. No judging. Just what shows up honestly. Pressure can feel motivating, heavy, exciting, overwhelming — or different every day. There’s no right answer here. ⬇️ Comment your first thought or feeling below ⬇️ I’ll be reading and responding to your word drops, and together we’ll start noticing patterns and reshaping how pressure shows up in our dancing and in our lives. 🤍✨

What’s one feeling that’s been coming up for you a lot this week? Once you name it, spend the next day just noticing — no fixing, no judging. What thoughts tend to show up when that feeling appears? Our thoughts often shape our emotions more than we realize, especially when we’re on autopilot. You don’t need to make sense of it right away. Noticing the connection between your thoughts and feelings opens the door. Come back to this post if you’d like to share anything you notice or discover💡
