We've been working on inversions in my classes over the past few weeks. While we we're having some free time to play with inversions, many students asked me how to get into headstand, so I thought it would be helpful to break it down on the blog!

Inversions take a lot of practice, strength and mostly getting over the fear/weird feeling of being upside down! I used to be so freaked out by ... View the Post
How to Stay Motivated
I'm slightly embarrassed to admit this but yesterday I saw one of those silly Facebook videos going around that had tons of words flashing on it and it instructed, "screenshot this and whichever word you get is your word for 2018."

When I was younger, all I really thought about was all of the cookies I got to eat, the Barbies on my Christmas list and all of the fun I was going to have with my cousins. Now, my ... View the Post
