Movement & Strength
Aerial arts — pole, hoop, and hammock.
I started with pole dancing and fell completely in love — despite the backlash, despite the raised eyebrows. I went for it anyway, and what it gave me in return was something I didn't expect: a whole new relationship with my own body. I learned what I was capable of. I pushed my strength, my flexibility, my limits — and I respected every single one.
After two years on the pole, I moved to aerial hoop, and eventually to aerial hammock. From the girl who chose chess during school intramurals — not athletic, never sporty — to someone who genuinely loves lifting herself off the ground. Aerial taught me body positivity in the most honest way possible: by showing me what one person's body can quietly, surprisingly do.
