Did I miss anything?

Share this with your coaches, instructors, and movement teachers because I’m tired of this being so misunderstood

Thanks! ☺️

Everyone who’s learned from me knows I’ll applaud anyone who falls, and I’ll encourage you to push to that edge where you are making mistakes.

That is the learning zone

You don’t change if you’re not challenged.

And challenging yourself often means not doing it perfectly.

And yeah—this can be applied well beyond physical skills 🙌

Oh and an extra applause 👏 for my handstand club peeps who have been working on falling backwards into their sofas and chairs (and sometimes even to the floor) which is huge in the conquering fears department 🤟

I’ve been guilty of teaching “peak pose” flows where the peak pose is… at the end. 😂

But when you’re actually trying to learn a skill, it makes sense to do the technically demanding stuff while you’re fresh — after warming up, but before the conditioning drills.

That’s one thing I’ve LOOOOVED about Handstand Club.

Less “here’s a beautiful flow to experience” and more “here’s the skill, let’s figure out how to actually do it.”

Because that’s my happy place—teaching the nitty gritty parts of a skill.

And the best part of course: my students are actually learning to handstand. 🤸‍♀️

Do you teach “peak pose” flows and if so, what are your thoughts on this?

On MWA the flows loop so you can repeat them 🤙

My neuro training starts 3 October! I teach you everything that will make you someone who teaches movement WITH an understanding of what’s happening…

🧠 in the brain 🧠— the centre of all your movements, sensations, thoughts, etc (I mean duh but …people keep teaching movement, breathing, meditation etc as if the brain doesn’t exist 😂)

So message me if you want in.

The notion of maps in the brain changed everything for me.

Every rep — in most cases — gives the brain information that populates its maps with data. More data = clearer map.

Sometimes things get in the way of that, and that’s where an applied neurology education comes in handy.

Either way, understanding how SPECIFIC each map can get turns you into a movement variety evangelist— it’s so beneficial to move outside of perfect alignment and to move in novel ways.

My Applied Neurology teacher training starts in October!

If you’ve been eyeing it, comment. I’ll give you a hook up

Basically: move the opposite side of the body to the one that’s balancing you and see if it improves your balance. (It likely will.)

That’s the power of understanding some neurology.

Learning Functional Neurology often means going over something that seems mundane—

like “we can move at different speeds” (🥱)—

and being MIND BLOWN 🤯 by what is actually happening at a neurological level in this quotidian action,

and being able to apply that accordingly to help yourself, your students, your clients overcome problems and reach goals in ways you’d NEVER have considered before.

Whether you learn #appliedneurology from me, handstands, or yoga, you better believe I’m gonna get you moving your thoracic spine in ways that make you feel like this:

🤯…😵‍💫…🤩…🤤

(Translation: it’s hard at first but then it becomes so yummy you’ll find yourself mobilising your thoracic all the time)

I’ve got several amazing thoracic spine exercises lined up for the next Handstand Club — starts 8 Sept!

A sprinkle of neuroscience behind the “I don’t want to get bulky” excuse.

And you know what’s MUCH easier if you’re strong? Handstands 🤸🏽

🎈Next Handstand Club starts 8 Sept and we’re not just working on balance and shapes—we get strong too 🎀

At-home weights and resistance bands workouts are on MWA too!

Or go get strong with someone else’s program or app. Just do yourself this favour and enjoy the empowering feeling of being STRONG.

Yay muscles 💪

What areas of you life do you love being challenged, and where do you shy away from challenge? I’ll go first…

I love physical challenges around balance and strength 🤩

I avoid physical challenges around speed and cardio 😭

I love mental challenges like pivoting my career from yoga to handstands* 🤩

I avoid mental challenges that involve maths 😭

I love the emotional challenge of sitting with an uncomfortable feeling and understanding its roots 🤩

I avoid the emotional challenge of talking to family members who differ greatly in world views to me 😭

*I do still teach yoga!! Just not as much
