This hour was physically the fastest point of my day yesterday but it was infact the slowest, I need slow.
Time in the studio with my body and nothing, other than dance, happening in my brain is FREEDOM! 🌊
Sending slowness to you - what do you like to do to turn your brain off? 👇

Strength.
Agility.
Stretch.
Speed.
Patience.
Balance. ✨
Sounds like fitness training. Nope.
PARENTING!

Trust.
Gaining trust in my body again
Trusting the process
Building trust in discovering new things and not seeking perfection
Loving discovering dance again 🖤

Thanks @rldance__
Where do you wanna go?
How much do you want to risk?
I’m not looking for someone with superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to … somebody I can kiss.

Feel grateful to have found this little outlet for just me.
My legs are now very bruised 😅

Hands up if you’ve tried this one? ☝️the bear hold
I love this exercise. A good all rounder for deep core strength / stabilising and pelvic floor - great if you’re #postnatal to restore that core!
In a box position, tuck your toes under and exhale to hug the belly inwards, lift the knees a couple of inches off the floor. The hands need to be directly underneath your shoulders.
Tip: Distribute the weight evenly between hands and feet and keep a flat back. Start by holding for 3-5 seconds, increasing to longer as it gets easier.
ps. I’m working on mine to get stronger!
