everyBODY Means EVERY Body
When I started the idea and teaching principles behind everyBODY it was because I had experienced and adapted to pole/aerial from the physical sense of so many different body types. It was my own struggles with learning and relearning movement at each shape and size that brought into focus just how important and necessary this was.
- It was being made felt by one group that I was too big while being told by another group that I was too small and not big enough.
- It was “auditory” inclusivity being made for plus-size bodies without science-based training that actually helped those bodies exceed on their apparatus.
- It was students coming to me saying: “I’ve been doing this drill or these sets of drills as directed by my other instructor(s) but I’m seeing no results .
- It’s about hearing stories of lack of support, lack of work arounds, lack of progressions and regressions.
- It was hearing others be told that their questions about exercise, weight or heal weren’t welcomed and that those were bad words.
- It was being told: “you’re strong for a big girl” and “I never would have thought YOU could be able to do that.”
My goal was an is to even the playing field. To maintain safe, welcoming spaces where every body does feel welcomed, supported and successful. To help bodies find a way to achieve movement in the way that feels and works best for them. To really be inclusive of all bodies, shapes, sizes, ages, abilities, etc., and to embrace the growth and changes that bodies go through with their movement.
