Cozy Cardio on GOOD MORNING AMERICA!!

Did you catch me on @goodmorningamerica this morning talking to @willganss about cozy cardio?

I had so much fun shooting this, what an incredible team, so kind and so much fun! Extremely grateful for the opportunity to talk about movement and help encourage people to move their bodies in a judgement free way!

Thank you @jessynotjessy @russellmarhull @willganss
and my amazing friends @jojoblong & Colin for letting us film in your apartment!

Give these moves a try and let me know how you get on/ how many times you fall doing the couch knee tap!

Dance training NY & LA

Today is 15yrs since the car accident so it felt fitting to post these.

I’m going to spend today celebrating by moving my body and feeling incredibly grateful. Which is exactly what I’ve done & how I’ve felt every day since I was healed enough to move to NYC to retrain and dance in 2013.

Taking nothing for granted and enjoying every minute.

✨ cwallamerican premiere ✨

The fam showed out for @osyikhile 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
So unbelievably proud of @osyikhile. So grateful I got to be there to celebrate you. I LOVE seeing you in your element💜

I love this show so much. It got me through some really rough months during COVID while I was dealing with daily relentless racism at work. It became my safe space.

Representation matters SO MUCH I’m not talking performative representation, but authentic representation where stories are driven and led by the people whose lives they’re telling.

I took dance class before this, got changed in the bathroom, and rushed straight over hence looking a little rough. 😂 But I genuinely didn’t care.

Days like this are exactly why I moved to LA. 6 years ago I was watching the show in my Brooklyn apartment, on Wednesday I was at the premiere cheering on and celebrating my friend. My heart was so full, and I was so happy to be there to see him shine✨

And the Electric Slide marathon (slide 3) was eeeevvveerrryyyttthhhiiinnnggg. I love being black. My heart has been so heavy this week. I needed this more than I knew ✊🏾🙏🏽💜

@osyikhile, watching you act is such a gift. I’m so excited for the new season to start airing on Monday, and I’m genuinely grateful you gave me no spoilers!

I can’t wait for your next premiere. I’ll stage mum even harder 😂
You’re one of one. What a way to begin your LA journey joining the legacy of this show. So proud of you ✨

✨USA Artist Visa & Green Card Guide✨

I’m asked about this a lot, so here’s everything I’ve learnt from having 3 x O-1 visas and an EB-1A Green Card for the US. My first visa was just for dance but my 2nd & 3rd were for dance AND fitness.

This isn’t legal advice it’s simply what I’ve learned over 10+ years. Always consult a qualified immigration attorney for advice specific to your situation. If you’re looking into the O-1 or EB-1A, start with USCIS.gov it’s the official source and lays out the criteria clearly. Understanding it yourself is a key part of the process.

I hope this helps anyone trying to figure out their next steps, whether that’s applying for the first time, changing sponsors, renewing a visa, or simply trying to understand how the process works.

It’s long as hell (I know 😂), but I wanted to answer the questions I get asked most often and put everything I’ve learned in one place.

Please save and share this with anyone who might need it. I want to see more artists, performers, fitness professionals, and creatives win.

Also massively sorry because I realised I’d been accidentally gatekeeping this information by keeping it in DMs and one-off conversations instead of sharing it publicly.

So here it is. I hope it helps 💜

I don’t get commission but if you’d like, I can also share my lawyer’s details just DM me.

Can we change the conversation please!!

I want to talk about the cool things our bodies can do instead of how they look. Or what you’re currently trying to figure out or work on. That’s interesting. Aesthetics are boring and none of my business.

I want to celebrate our bodies! That’s way more fun than judging them! by @ianthemellors

Recover as hard as you train

Figure out the best way to help YOUR body recover and make it non negotiable as part of your week/month/LIFE

For me it’s stretching, cold plunge/cryo, chiropractor & massage.

Shoutout to my LA recovery team/places!!
So grateful for them

@_pause.studio_ for the cold plunge & recovery space

@chirolifela for the best chiropractic adjustments. If you’re in LA GO TO HER!!!

@massagewiz for the best massage. He actually goes DEEP!! If you’re in LA GO TO HIM!!!!

Cannot recommend the above enough!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 by @ianthemellors
