The studio values, vision & vibe are the same, but I have a new mission

Story time⬇️

5 years ago, I founded Amplify studio, rebelling against the fitness standards of "No pain, no gain, sweat til you drop, push push push"

🥵 just thinking about those excessive mantras make me want to collapse

At that time, I had a spinal injury I got from a car accident earlier that year, that had left me suffering for months almost bed ridden

I could only walk or sit after I pop a pill or getting wine to cope with the excruciating pain and the doctors I saw condemned me to that pain for life...

Rebelling & refusing to accept this as my reality

I "listened to my body" which led me to naturally self-heal thru movement

So I became a fitness coach to help other women trust, care & honor their bodies which would have ripple effects on their mental + emotional health

And because "Listen to your body" mantra changed my life, it became a philosophy I built my studio on & set trend to

This trend caught wildfire & became the "new norm" in fitness

‼️Now 5 years later

Something disturbs me about the "Listen to your body" dialogue

What I initially started thru my embodied philosophy to EMPOWER women to take their health in their hands

Has now been diluted to a message of disempowerment

Here's how:

"Listen to you body" has become the excuse to excuses 🤦‍♀️😪

"My body feels heavy, so I'll pass"
"It's uncomfortable, so my body says no"

And while I will NEVER agree with using FORCE, GUILT, SHAME, I also don't align with bypassing

Yes "Listening to my body" changed my life

No scrap that - it gave me my life back

BUT❗️

It was not by "I feel something on the surface so I obey to listen to my body to justify blocks"

Because If I had done it that way, meaning I had just "listened to my body" that only experienced pain at that time, I'd still be bedridden today 🤷‍♀️

"Listen to your body" is about knowing how to REALLY LISTEN & deeply understand to honor your body for transformation

That's the nuance, the uncomfortable truth

That's the true empowerment thru your body

That's my new mission

I remember back in 2020 when I spoke about workouts for mental and emotional health, and the power of movement as a way to show love to our bodies instead of punishment.

The reactions I received were blunt, with messages and requests mainly focused on losing weight, becoming skinny, and getting back to pre-pregnancy size.

And you know what? There's nothing wrong with having physical aesthetic goals. But here's the key: it should never come at the expense of your overall health 🌿

Fastrack to today, I've started to see the shift happening. People are realizing that workouts aren't *just* about physical goals anymore.

It's about shaking off stress, decreasing anxiety, fighting insomnia, boosting happiness, and more!

The desire to feel relaxed, uplifted, and empowered is taking center stage. And let me tell you, I couldn't be happier that this shift is finally happening!

It's been a journey⏳It took 3years of being looked at like an outsider, 3years of going against the grain in the fitness industry, facing judgment and being snubbed by traditional coaches who pushed diets and punishing workouts.

I rebelled against the shaming and guilting fitness industry. But I'm proud to say that this shift is what the studio always been about.

A small studio with a big mission: promoting movement for self-care from a place of joy and love.
When you join our classes, you have the absolute freedom to be yourself, with no judgments. You leave your workout feeling energized, happy, relaxed, destressed, empowered, supported, strong, and confident in what your body and mind can do. It's a beautiful gift of self-care and self-love. 💕💪

To those who have been with us from the beginning, despite my approach being unpopular and unconventional at the time, thank you for hearing my message and trusting in me. And to those who are now opening up to this approach as it becomes more popular, I'm thrilled to guide you on this journey to true whole health.

If you're ready to flip the script and embrace a holistic approach to health, join us with our tried and tested methods. It all starts with a WhatsApp message 5868 8898.

Happy Mental Awareness Month 🌻
