unread books? under-moved body? i have an idea


πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Strange and delightful online workshops ​
​
​
➑ read time: 2 min max

When was the last time you:
​

A. Sensuously slathered yourself on an undecorated wall, causing you to feel stretches in places you didn’t know existed?
​

B. Read a chapter of a book about trigonometry and immediately turned your learnings into a hip movement exercise?
​

​

C. Asked me your lingering questions about why so many adult dance classes are sucky and sad and what we can do about it and also how to be less terrified of going upsidedown backwards.
​

Never?
​

Then, may I present to you:
​
​
My upcoming online drop-in workshop offerings...
​

Yes, recordings are available!

For people with questions about body stuff:

β€‹βš«οΈ Community Flow Coaching​

​
Bring me your:

β€’ Training challenges

β€’ Fluidity sticking points

β€’ Not-quite-working movement skills

​
Let's work through it.
Possibly helpful. Probably fun.
​
​By donation. $0 required to register (!)

For humans with unread books: ​
​
​

πŸ“– Wriggle & Read​
​
I, too, have a few (MANY) yellowing books awaiting my attention.
​
Those are sitting beside the ones I did read but did not integrate πŸ˜‘
​
That’s why I created πŸ“– Wriggle & Read.
​
How it works:
​
β€’ Pick any book you’d like. Academic. Speculative fiction. Anatomy. Erotica. A radical book combining them all...​
​
β€’ I help you transform your reading into a unique movement experience
​
β€’ You walk away with better retention and more insights than reading alone (multisensory enriched learning)
​
If only school had been like this.
​
​$0 required! Attendance is by donation.

​

For movement-loving people who could use a PLAN

​❣️ Body-Based Life Planning: Small Group Coaching ​
​
​
Planning your future doesn't have to feel like a corporate meeting or the start of a life crisis.
​
Five weeks, 10 people.
​
Lots of embodied action towards making a beautiful, body-says-yes plan.
​
​Only 5 spots left!
​
​

For pole dancers who would like to be less rushed & more lush

β€‹πŸŸ£ Lava Lamp Low Flow: Goopy Smooth Level Changes​

​
A luxuriously paced, gentle-on-your-joints pole dance workshop to help you:
​
β€’ ooze from shape to shape

β€’ get up and down like a dream

β€’ weight shift with smooth conviction
​
​
Essential pole fluidity edu, IMO.

​

For people who wanna get smeared

β€‹πŸŽ Deck the Walls
(with your moving body)
​
​
​
I hope that whatever I cause during this class is something a magic eraser can handle.​
​
You + the wall + slowness =
a nourishing experience.
​
Get yourself involved right here.​

For 2025 prepping together

β€‹πŸ•―οΈCandle Class: Flame-Inspired Reflective Movement​
​
​ This flame-inspired session happens between the winter solstice (the shortest day of the year) and the Gregorian New Year (that's the one where the ball drops and makes it change numbers, and then February is too short.)
​
But about the class...​
​
​
Expect gentle movement, some hypnotic prop work, and maybe lighting some small things on fireπŸ”₯
​
Look back 🫠 and prepare for what's ahead.

In this email: My trip to the International Fascia Research Congress, where I studied this year & upcoming eventsRead time: 3 mins TOMORROW, Dec 19 I’m rather amazed by how many years I yanked my pelvis to its extremes before understanding how it’s designed to move. 15 years ago.

I’m about to show you something no one has seen before: Inside my Instagram saves. Spin, static, and "I could try that with my pants on" pole videos are all kept separate. I save IG videos into folders so that when I need to show a student something, or the rare mood strikes to try some of these skills on myself, I know exactly where to find it.Plus, training gets confusing when acrobatic videos are mixed in with my #calligraphytips and #chilicrisprecipe saves 🌢️ Thinking back, studying other...
