πŸ‘ Articulate Anatomy: Hips​
​

​
Hands up if you're interested in PELVIC POSSIBILITES?
​
Dec 19 is my final session of the year inside
The Freestyle Collective. ​
​
Articulate Anatomy: Hips
is a $25, 75-minute anatomical exploration applied to improvisational movement.
​
We feel the things, then we flow the things.
​
Come feel just how
playful improved body mapping and healthier hip move-ability can be.
​
No anatomical experience or dance skills necessary.

πŸ’₯ Movement Class Custom Busting Experience​
(a collab with Adam Woolley)​
​​
​
​
When I first met Adam (
@proudcoach) about 15 years ago, in a rare pole–circus world convergence, he was upside down on his hands, assembled so narrowly and vertically that he could have hidden behind a stop sign.
​
It was, to this day, the
straightest handstand I have EVER seen.

Over the years, we both became increasingly invested in dismantling outdated, bad-for-learning traditions that haunt movement classrooms.
​
So, we paired up and produced a loose-lipped,
5-episode mini-podcast (free).​
​

​And we’ve turned those conversations into a little 5-session course for movement teachers who are tired of their own sh*t.​

You’ll work directly with both of us as you remake your warm-up, cue differently, reconsider the social structure of your room, and more.​

β—‹ Floor Flow Teacher Training 2026
​
​
​Flow starts where most movement instruction ends.
​
Late Jan-June 2026​
​
​FFTT Is for:

the mover in you who imagines how good genuine fluidity feelsβ€”

and the teacher in you who can’t quite translate that feeling

without losing the magic in the process.

​
This foundational movement training strengthens your ability to
teach Flow in any modality by returning to the floor and reminding you what it's like to stop thinking so damn much.​
​

​FFTT is entering its 10th year.
​

For the first time ever, I'm running both a training track and a teaching track so that both movement teachers and those who just want to develop their own floor practice have a path.​
​

​
​
β†Ί Pole Continuity Coach pre-enrollment is now open. ​
​
​
The only long-form pole dance training dedicated to the art + science of SMOOTH.
​
​
Learn the overlooked technique that transforms grounded and aerial pole from choppy to mesmerizingβ€”so you can coach incredible smoothness of movement in yourself and others.
​
With tracks for teachers and those who self-coach.

πŸ‘ƒ Re: Snot Rot​
​
I now know what it’s like to go under anesthesia and have my sinus cavities surgically reopened and vacuumed out in Dubai.

Spoiler: not painful!

The details of my sinus malady aren’t everyone’s cup of inbox-tea, but for those of you who are thinking, β€œyes… tell me the gory sinus details,”

A. hit reply and let me know you're into that
B. perhaps you might like to…
