CAPACITY //

at almost 34, I’m learning that capacity has range and depth.

the physical capacity to test your limits. the emotional capacity to experience life in all its intensity. and the mental capacity to take it all in, filter out the noise and make sense of what remains.

I now understand that refinement is cyclical. you sharpen iron, put it to work, let it get chipped and return to sharpen it again.

somewhere along the way, this became my pursuit of being fully embodied in my own life. a pursuit that grew into a movement practice some of you already know, and one I’m finally getting ready to share with everyone.

stepping into a world //

where joy is palpable.
where nothing we feel is wasted.
where music is the portal.
where we move to feel, to release, to test our boundaries.
where the body carries us through it all.
where we celebrate this singular life we get to live.

creating a visual language for movement with @motionbynicci 🪩

when I first stepped into Nicci’s class a few weeks ago, i was immediately taken back to the 90s fitness world: the rhythmic music, the energy, the unique, dance-inspired combinations of movement. i lovedddd it.

when we started dreaming up the photoshoot, I really wanted to bring some of that feeling into the images - a little tribute to 90s futurism, strength, joy, music and berlin.

we had a vision, but left lots of space to play. We walked around and every object and piece of architecture invited a new movement, and Nicci was so open to trying everything, experimenting and just playing around with whatever we found.

this is a little glimpse into something she’s been building behind the scenes 🤍 more soon. taken in Berlin, Germany by @motionbynicci

when I first moved to Berlin, I felt a real disconnect. I missed the dynamic, functional style of barre I’d taught for nearly 12 years. the kind where you held 90-second planks, did full pushups and built strength from the inside out.

now that everyone is finally embracing strength training (because lifting weights is a *hot girl hobby* 🥵)-I wanted to go back to the roots of nyc barre I fell in love with- but reformed for today and for anyone.

Barre Strength is my take on that- just you, medium-heavy dumbbells, ankle weights, and a barre. controlled, compound movements that build to a beat-based sequence. always musically driven. Always Motion by Nicci.

My love letter to movement for you to enjoy:
Tuesday • @becyclexbeyond Mitte 7:15 pm
Thursday • @becyclexbeyond Xberg 5:00pm
Friday • @becyclexbeyond Mitte 10:30 am
