    ❌ STOP PLANNING, START DOING ❌ This is not a video ❌ STOP PLANNING, START DOING ❌
This is not a video of me pole dancing… Not really anyway. It’s actually a video of *Iya’s shadow, larger than life, stunning & beautiful. And I love the way our lights & shadows are interacting on the curtain. 

The funny thing is that I filmed five different versions of this combo, and I wasn’t fully satisfied with any of them… 

Until I watched this one back, and I realized I never could have planned this shot - because I’m not that smart. Or creative.

I just showed up at a ^beautiful place with some `beautiful people and surprise! - ended up with this beautiful shot. 

And that’s the life lesson for today: STOP PLANNING, START DOING. If you’re anything like me, your plans never pan out anyway. Whereas just doing, even if you don’t know why, has always led me down much more fulfilling & exciting paths!

I’ve lost a lot of flexibility over the years and as a result, I’ve had to change up my training style.

If there’s any hope in hell of reclaiming some of these lost tricks - active flexibility & strength training are definitely the way to go, to put my foot back on my head. 

So if you’re also on a journey to reclaim your long lost flexy tricks or if you’ve been leaning on your flexy tricks and the aches & pains have started to set in, join me for some online training and let’s get Flexy Strong together!

    📢 ACCOUNTABILITY ONLINE 📢 Announcing things loudly 📢 ACCOUNTABILITY ONLINE 📢
Announcing things loudly on the Internet is a great way to ensure that you follow through on the things that you might otherwise crap out on… like me getting my butt up to train at 10am this morning because why is home training so hard?? 

So if you’re struggling with motivation and you need an accountability buddy like I do? Then hit me up because I’m getting online training back up and running… See you there!

Sometimes what you need in order to improve your Pole Dancing is not actually Pole Dancing. 

I haven’t touched this Teardrop Split since last year, but what I have been doing, especially over the last month, is going to the gym to strengthen my lower body & my cardio (bleugh!!) as well as yoga, which has improved my flexibility. 

So when it comes to these elite level tricks, of course you need the grip points, the body position, the body awareness, but you also need strength & flexibility. So if you’re having any trouble trying to figure out where are the gaps in your training, come see me and I’ll help you find out!

PS. Thank you @honeyandchrome_cs for hosting my pop-up Tricksy Tuesday! Looking forward to doing it all again next week… 😘
    Do you ever wake up and think “What the heck am I Do you ever wake up and think “What the heck am I doing with myself?” Is this what a midlife crisis feels like?

I thought that after my Australian tour of The Pole Shebang, I’d have time to process it all. And then I thought that having my entire Canada family visit for three weeks would give me a sense of grounding.

But I find myself, after having obsessively cleaned every square inch of the house, that I’m hanging on by a thread as fine as the tip of my smashed fingernail, because I don’t know what to do with myself!

The only thing I know for sure is that I’m really enjoying pole (and also unedited unfiltered videos). 

I’ve got my pop-up classes tonight at @honeyandchrome_cs and I’m also planning a training sesh at home on Thursday morning - maybe I’ll run it like an informal drop-in, so lemme know if you wanna join and I’ll chuck you an invite 🥳
