Got my butt back to pole training! I was exhausted after doing this trick a million times. Trying to get it solid and clean for my next show . I fell asleep on the yoga mat in the studio after (not joking !) ๐Have you guys tried this split ?itโs pretty tricky ๐ฌ
Marie will be sharing her top 7 classes this week!๐
Marie has been an Align member since 2022-05-25ย here are some words from her.
' Never been a bendy queen in my whole life (turning 42 years now in September) I could do a simple bridge as a kid but nothing else, always struggled with stiff hamstrings even as a kid. Always dreamed about doing the splits and as a 38 year old I finally managed after using the right technique for my body muscles and tendons. That new awareness of that I could actually do the splits made me found Align since I wanted to maintain my new flexibility skill and also as a pole dancer and found Felicity more than amazing which both her pole and flexibility ability. Shortly after I joined Align I was in an accident where my knee got injured but align helped me maintain strengthen and advanced my muscles and flexibility during the healing process. I did a surprisingly comeback and got back at poledancing and became more bendier than ever, I even won 3rd place in a competition using skills and techniques I learned from alignwithfelicity in the performance. I love Align ...its a lifestyle! You get yoga meditation stretching and poledance in one app. And I love the community everyoneโs so sweet sharing their struggles but also everyoneโs success. Itโs an honour to be representing โclass-of-the-dayโ for a week xoxo'
Back at home in Gran Canaria โ๏ธ quite exhausted after a whirlwind of travel for the past 2.5 months but happy to be back and no longer living out of a suitcase ๐ โจ How was your summer guys?
Had the first really deep flexibility session in a long time ! It felt SO GOOD! I put on a podcast and ended up bending for two hours ๐yay ! How do you feel after you stretch?
Bending in todays live class ๐ who liked this camel transition ?
Trying to get my training done amongst a house full of kids ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ (pretty challenging !)
Back in London ! At my friends house who has the most adoreable hairless sphinx cats ๐๐the flight back from Thailand was pretty long and tough ๐ฉ I have developed a fear of flying out of nowhere and I had severe anxiety most of the way which was hard to deal with . (Need to do some work around this) so happy to be back on land ๐ sending lots of love from London ๐ฌ๐ง
Leaving Thailand tomorrow! I travelled back to Bangkok and it took 12 hours ๐๐คฏ there was many delays and so much waiting. I took the long way back (wrong decision ) ! Finally we arrived and my energy and patience had completely run out. Orlando was moaning and complaining the whole journey (which I understand) but it was hard and frustrating . I had the biggest mummy meltdown when we reached Bangkok ๐ I could not contain it any longer. I cried for about 30 minutes pretty hysterically. Good news is I feel lighter after it. I think itโs important to just let emotions out to to clear whatever is thereโฆ. I have another huge travel back to London tomorrow so please wish me luck ๐ After London I will see some friends and then go to Scotland to see the family. I look forward to being at my Mums house (and not being the only Mum ) ๐ซฃ๐ฅฐ Sending love and flexy wishes to you all ! Xxx
Saw super cute monkeys in the wild ๐๐ We fed them bananas and they were so grateful ๐๐ป One of them even laughed.๐
I am back teaching the live class tomorrow and hoping that my own โlittle monkeyโ does not disturb the class like he did a few sessions ago! ๐ซ
We are doing backbends tomorrow. My favourite ! ๐
Canโt believe I am leaving in a week. Time has gone fast ๐ฅนI am not ready to come back! I LOVE this island โค๏ธ
