POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

4 weeks post groin surgery. Cleared for isolated upper body, light weights. First day trial back to the gym. This is what you can do with the right isolation and lower weights. Thank you Marko (trainer at GymU) for teaching me how to keep moving safely. This is the first day in 4 weeks I feel human again (and in my happy place). #nevergiveup #weighttraining #resilience by @patrasile

Video release! 2026 PSO Nationals (first place). Such a great experience and wonderful community of performers. Even worth having 7 anchors drilled into my pelvis after tearing my entire groin region about 50 seconds in). And yes, it hurt, and muscled my way through it. This was my "comeback" piece after several surgeries in 2025. I'm eager to see what my new comeback piece will be next year! #poledance #resilience #winner by @patrasile

What a great way to end the summer. Thank you to our friends Ken and Lidia for sharing their home and pool. Surgery tomorrow on my adductor longus - let the recovery begin (again). #bestrong #resilience #positiveattidude by @patrasile

A little post-competition GenAI fun. I did actually end up going to the ER to check out a muscle injury. I think ChatGPT took it a little too far. I am digging the disco ball as an IV bag - it would make hospitals a lot more fun! by @patrasile

Today I chose to be visible.

I’m learning that it’s less about the what and more about the how — because ultimately, the how is what drives the results.

How we show up. How we respond when things don’t go as planned. How we keep moving forward. And how we allow ourselves to be seen.

Today, I’m incredibly grateful for the result, but even more grateful for the journey — and for the wonderful people in my life who continue to support me along the way.

Thank you. ❤️ #transformation #emergence #polesportorganization #poledance #beyourbestself by @patrasile

This is hysterical. I've been working on my side split for 40 years without much improvement. Little did I know it took having a herniated disc in my neck and a dose of prednisone to make it happen. Too bad it's not a part of the routine. Hopefully my neck will work just as well. by @patrasile

Today was never really about winning. It was about seeing what was possible after almost two years of rebuilding.

Recovery demanded discipline. Resilience required patience. Somewhere along the way, what began as rehabilitation became growth. Every workout, every rehearsal, every setback, and every small improvement led to this moment.

One of the things I love most about the pole community is how supportive it is. It’s a place where people challenge themselves, express who they are, and celebrate each other’s journeys. I’m grateful to have been part of that.

Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way—my surgeons and doctors, my pole instructors, my gym trainer, my coaches, my friends, and everyone who offered encouragement, honest feedback, and support. And my husband who encouraged every step I took. truly couldn’t have done it alone.

This medal is a wonderful reminder of the day. But what I’ll remember most is the journey that made it possible. #bethebestversionofyou #poledance #resilience #nevergiveup taken in KleinLife by @patrasile

When you hit the gym every day on vacation. (And also need to burn off all the Wiener Schnitzel you've eaten) #dedication #workoutmotivation #beyourbestself taken in McFIT by @patrasile
