    Went out looking for the fall with @move.to.connec Went out looking for the fall with @move.to.connect and @kristian_kjaer23 in my old neighbourhood yesterday 🍁

    Quite happy to discover that I can now control the Quite happy to discover that I can now control the entire descent from pincha to forearm wheel without falling into it!

@thebodyweightwarrior @alexanderimancircus @docjenfit @emmetlouis @nicklas_kreutzfeldt have some amazing resources available if you’re interested in incorporating more active flexibility / mobility into your practice too. Go check them out! 🤩

    I got accepted into the physiotherapy program in C I got accepted into the physiotherapy program in Copenhagen and started this week!! Beyond excited to dive into something new and learn all of the things.

It wasn’t an easy choice to change paths and leave chemistry research behind after many years but it’s been a huge relief to let go of the should dos and other people’s expectations and follow my passion instead.

I can’t wait to expand my knowledge of the body and use that knowledge in my classes and with clients. I can’t wait to help people feel more free and capable in their bodies and I can’t wait to help more people (re)discover the joy of movement. 😍
