2016 was weird

- still navigating my eating disorder
- got my first three tattoos
- in a controlling relationship that left me feeling isolated
- started bouldering, got humbled real quick
- trying to get through uni with anaemia and fatigue
- emo at heart but insecure about self expression
- would do yoga literally everywhere
- topshop black skinny jeans and lots of flannel
- wall hangings and fairy lights to cover magnolia walls
- a daily yoga practice (clock the ashtanga sequence)
- big hair and side sweeps galore
- extreme asana that would leave me broken now

here are some recent drills i’ve been experimenting with and programming for my clients!!

why am i throwing it back??

yes i did this at 1am but i swear i’m not crashing out

it’s just been 6 weeks since i changed anything about my appearance x

from my first ever pull up video to my most recent!!

i’ve trained consistently since 2020 and what helped me finally unlock a pull up was:

• banded pull ups
• negative pull ups
• top holds
• other strength work for my upper body
• progressive overload
• consistency
• patience
• self belief
• getting frustrated but not giving up

they didn’t happen overnight, it took the best part of 2 years, but it was incredibly rewarding when i did!

so you got this, just keep chipping away until the fruits of your labour finally reveal themselves!

got another pb this week - 55kgs clean and jerk!

i had to rush this session with limited rest time between sets which wasn’t ideal, BUT pressing that much weight above my head was so sick?!?!

excited to see where i can take this lift over the next year, i’m dreaming of those red plates dawg

whenever i see content like this my eyes roll so far back into my head that i can see all my repressed trauma

because it offers nothing but false expectations and misinformation

there are many charlatans, grifters and straight up liars in the fitness industry who will knowingly share junk food content like this purely for likes and follows

but follower count isn’t always an indicator of authority, credibility, knowledge or trustworthiness

and content like this ignores nuance, complexity, individual experiences and so much more

there aren’t a magical three exercises to get a shredded 6 pack, despite what the charlatans say, but it can be achieved with a calorie deficit, low body fat percentage and training maintenance (plus other factors, because nuance!)

december was me scraping at the bottom of the barrel for some sanity

finished my irl classes forever - flat hunting - it hurt - last time doing long distance - why - remarkably brilliant - stopped rolling these pants up - cool friends do cool things - sick for ages, finally back moving my body - crimmis - 1000 piece lock in - how i’m trying to be - elite leftovers - a rarity - after 29 - festive goth - backroom activities - golden hour - d***y boi - hny

07/01/2026

first session of the new year and i decided to test out my current sn**ch, unlocking a new pb at 41kgs!!

not the tidiest of reps, but after a really inconsistent two months due to the flu and a concussion, i’ll take it

i’ve set the goal of getting a 45kgs sn**ch this year, so let’s see if i can continue to chip away at it!!

⋆˚꩜｡ a brand new helping of yoga loops ⋆˚꩜｡

i love including this type of transition sequencing in my flows when i teach + practice, because:

꩜ it encourages exploration at the individual’s own pace

꩜ it gives exposure to getting into + also coming out of the same pose, repeatedly, to build familiarity with the movement patterns

꩜ it can lead to other variations + layering within the original loop, to create more autonomy in the individual’s practice

what one are you trying first?

what a mixed bag of a year! here are some of my favourite highlights! let’s not forget there were plenty of lows! i just don’t take photos of them!

love you all, happy new year
