15 Years of Aerial Arts & the Lessons That Shaped Me Hello, my loves! 🌷 In today's episode, I wanted to take a little time to introduce myself and share more of the journey that brought me here. Nearly 15 years ago, I stepped into the world of aerial arts, not knowing just how profoundly it would shape my life. What began as a curiosity grew into a career filled with movement, artistry, teaching, choreography, production and most importantly, a deeper understanding of myself. Throughout these years, I've worn so many hats. I've been a student, an instructor, a performer, a choreographer, a show producer, an instructor to other instructors. But underneath every role, I've always been a human being learning, growing, questioning and evolving. Somewhere along the way, I began to recognize that the most meaningful transformations in our aerial practice don't always happen in the air. Sometimes, they happen in the moments we begin to understand ourselves a little more deeply. In this episode, I'm sharing pieces of my aerial journey, the experiences that started to shape my teaching philosophy.and why I've come to believe that the connection between our mind, body and apparatus is about so much more than technique. I'm also sharing how I hope to support you through this space, whether you're an aerial student, an instructor, an artist, or simply someone looking to deepen your relationship with yourself through movement. My hope is that The Aligned Aerialist becomes a place where we can explore not only what we're capable of doing, but who we're becoming along the way. Thank you for being here, for listening, and for being part of this new chapter. Here's to growing, exploring, and blooming together. 🌿 🌷 Ways to Work with Me 💫 Let's Connect on Insta
