Aerial Silks in Nelson, New Zealand!

I've been teaching aerial silks for decade, and I Love working with beginners. Silks is Hard, and I love helping folks get over the hump from 'I can't do this' to 'Wow! I'm doing it! What's next?!'

Looking forward to bringing aerial silks to Nelson next month!  

Let my current Golden Bay students be an inspiration to those just starting on the journey in Nelson!

10 minutes 10 days challenge

Even with all this extra time, it can still feel hard to get up and moving some days, right? I know folks are struggling with motivation, and I also know how much accountability has helped me to stay motivated.

So I'm offering up 10 days of motivation, just 10 minutes a day. I'll give you a different 10 minute workout every day working on strength building in different parts of the body, enough to warm you up, get your heart rate up, get the endorphins flowing, and feel the burn. I'll also offer modifications to make things easier or harder so you get a workout that works for you.

Oftentimes I find that with just 10 minutes of workout I can go from gravity bound in my PJs to inspired to go for a walk, a run, do some yoga, get out in the garden. It's just a matter of waking the body UP!

And some of you know, I teach aerial silks. And all of my students and I have been homebound for so many weeks now, so I conjured up this challenge to get them keeping strong until we can train in person again. I created this for them and I'm offering it up for anyone else who wants to join in.

I'm asking just $10 ($1 a day) for ten mini workouts. You'll have other people on the challenge with you and you can find an accountability buddy here to keep yourself committed if that helps you stay on track.

10 days, 10 minutes a day, for $10 ($1 a day)

We'll start on Monday, May 3rd.

I hope you are all finding gratitude and joy every day. 

Be well

the Voices of Sacred Earth afterglow...

Voices of Sacred Earth is such a powerful gathering that serves to uplift indigenous voices and get us more connected to ourselves, each other, and the land.  What an honor to get to share my love of movement there!
Thank you to all of the curious, joyful, and playful acroyogis that came together to explore and laugh and get into their creative aliveness with me!

I'm also working on organizing a day long or weekend Acroyoga workshop up in Auckland, so be in touch if you and your playful friends are keen!!
