THE SOFT WAY TO A HARD BODY

A Gentle Approach To Sustainable Strength 

Fitness is not just a physical journey; it’s also a mental and emotional one. Recognizing this interconnectedness is key to optimizing power both in and out of the gym.

My vision is to share my personal journey and inspire you to reconsider your own approach to fitness. You may be approaching your physicality in a way that doesn’t align with your emotional and mental well-being. By adopting a gentler, more thoughtful approach, you can remove obstacles that may seem insurmountable.

This shift in perspective can lead to authentic intensity and sustainability as a natural byproduct. Let’s redefine strength through the lens of a regulated nervous system. Here, grounding, centering, and awareness become the true heavy lifting. Join me on this journey to discover a gentler and more sustainable way to engage with fitness, embracing your unique path and finding empowerment in your own skin.

Feelings are sometimes difficult to discover and even more difficult to decipher—but hidden in your deepest feelings lies your highest truth.

The truth is that you’re being instructed, not taught. You are being contorted into movement paradigms that require feeling, but the instructors aren’t in touch with feelings. If they were, they wouldn’t be instructing you based on limitation and rigidity; they would be teaching you how to feel for yourself. Limitless.

The combination of social media relevance and competition-style training has created a coaching style that lacks depth. I’m compelled to explain a little bit about how we’ve gotten here based on my perspective.

I see very few examples that, in addition to visual demonstration, add “this is what this feels like” or “when I do this, it feels like this” or “you might want to experiment with this,” and the list of omitted felt guidance goes on and on.

Teachers are instructing felt reality without sharing what they feel. It will be impossible to integrate movements without felt reality. Felt reality is how your interpretation of the visual demonstration feels in your body. Without a feeling check, visual demonstration depends solely on seen perception.

Seen perception is basing our feelings on what it looks like someone else is doing. In my world, this is lack of integration, and we must integrate to balance what we see with what we feel to create harmony.
