    BULLETPROOF BALLERINA

    body & spirit

    PSA to all you Type-A overachievers out there: "Progress" can be an insidious thing. You can't infinitely get stronger, faster, leaner, better. At some point, you reach the upper edge of what you can safely do as a natural athlete & human. Can you push past that edge? Absolutely. But it comes...

    In case you think I eat healthy & never miss a workout…think again. I allow myself to fully indulge in whatever food I want & do zero exercise on occasions, especially over the holidays where I want to spend my time connecting with family instead of focusing on my body. And when I indulge…I...

  • The 2 Keys to Unleash Your Inner

    Bad Girl Ballerina

    1. BULLETPROOF YOUR BODY

    The Physical:

    The first step to becoming a Bad Girl Ballerina is training like one. If you're not born as a thoroughbred, you can't train like a thoroughbred. You have to train differently. The BULLETPROOF BALLERINA method of cross-training is designed exactly for that purpose. Through workouts that enhance your strength, mobility, coordination, stamina, & awareness, you become a better dancer not by focusing on your ballet technique but by unlocking your body's full potential. Instead of forcing your body into the ballet mold (which destroys not only your body but also your self-esteem), you learn how to make ballet work on your unique body. This builds a confidence in your body that allows you to perform at your peak physically & take risks with your artistry.

    2. HARNESS YOUR PASSION

    The Mental:

    Stop trying to be perfect. Stop worrying if you're "good enough." Stop playing by the rules. You'll be amazed at what you unlock once you stop trying to please everyone else. The Bad Girl Ballerina inside you is fearless and has so much more to express & share without all the worry, judgments, and self-consciousness holding her back. Through the BAD GIRL BALLERINA BLOG and community, you'll learn that your worth is not tied to your perfectionism or dependent on how you measure up to the best-of-the-best. And through small actions & awareness, you'll build a confidence in yourself that allows you to be completely vulnerable & expressive in your art. But you have to be willing to break your own bunhead rules in order to live to your fullest potential. It's all about shifting your mindset to a place that inspires freedom and growth rather than restriction and punishment.
