SFDP has turned 1

Time literally flys 😅

I could write a massive post here about how we got here all the ups and the downs, amazing things we’ve achieved from SFDP, why I created SFDP but although it’s my name

SFDP isn’t about me.

It’s about the girls.
The women who show up every week
The dancers who want to learn and develop their skill
The ladies who want to make friends and connextions
The gals who just LOVE TO DANCE
The gals that want to choreograph themselves
The girls that used to dance when they were younger
The gals who love a social
The ladies who want to feel more confident and MOVE their bodies

Without you SFDP wouldn’t be turning 1 and I cannot thank you all enough 💓

Anyone that has liked, shared, come to an event, ANYTHING I truly appreciate it ☺️

Also the 1 person that made all of this possible @ameliagraceparker

(Soppy note, thank you for always believing in me and pushing me to achieve my dreams and goals when I have doubted myself. You really are my creative director/ stylist and above all my sister 💓)

Here’s to the next year of SFDP😉💃🏻

Big love
Shiv

Words can’t even describe the unbelievable transformation that legend ALEKS has achieved 🥹

I’m so proud u could burst, as I know Aleks is of herself.

I vividly remember our first ever call, where her body image, her relationship with food, her overall confidence in and out of the gym was not in a great place… and hadn’t been for years 💓

A very raw real account of her journey from then to now 🥹💓

Since then, she is now ENJOYING food, has made unbelievable changes to her patterns and eating habits to positively affect her overall wellbeing and her training performance. Aleks also challenged the beliefs she had surrounding certain food groups and putting in steps to help her to overcome the vicious cycles she had 💓

We’ve had a HUGE shift in her mindset towards training and her body. Practicing body gratitude through improving her training performance!

She’s run 10ks has even started to get amongst the big boy weights section- with no fear and no worry of how her body looks.

THIS ⬆️ is why I do what I do… I’m so so so proud of you Aleks 🥹💓

(And yes we both cried on a call together out of pure joy and happiness about how much she has progressed ☺️)

BIG LOVE 💓

If you have a similar story to Aleks, and need help, support and guidance- Don’t hesitate to reach out ☺️

We know the dangers of under fuelling for women…

Understandably when we do have relationship with food struggles and/ or body image struggles just knowing the information and dangers might not change our perspective or our behaviours ‼️

(There is a lot more too it) 🧠

One of the main benefits of being well fed vs underfuelling for me was being able to show up day day. This really helped change my perspective and put steps towards becoming healthier, and stronger, incorporating behaviours that were positive rather than negative to my overall health and wellbeing. ☺️

Being well fed means I have energy to show up for my legends (clients) and give them my best. 🫶🏽
To be able to think logically and creatively 🧠💃🏻
To physically have enough energy to get through my days (which are nuts) 🤯
To be productive and switched on ✨

For me this outweighs the need to become smaller every time 💓

If this is you and you have that voice in your head. Save this 💓💓

Big love
Shiv ✨

I can’t say I’m not surprised…. 😬

Can’t we just all let the gals be… ‼️‼️

Years ago the gym was only marketed for men, women were subjected to the cardio area only.

Now women are the but of bad jokes… training in the gym wearing a sports bra and shorts.

Another way for women to feel more self conscious 😡

if you feel good wearing whatever the hell you want to wear, why do people *cough Shane Gillis* feel like they need to put their 2p in.

P.s I love men, just not men who think women look “like whores in the gym”

Shane bbz you need to join Andrew Tate and all them 🔨🔧

Who agrees ?

Some thoughts from my Monday Substack 💭 
I’ve been thinking about how much we LOVE putting ourselves into boxes.🧠🤯 
How we should look, what we should do, what we should be good at and apparently how we’re supposed to explain our entire existence in one Instagram bio.‼️ 
Particularly as women, I think we’ve spent enough time trying to fit into descriptions that someone else came up with.😬 
You can be a dancer, a coach, a runner, a creative, all of the above or none of them. 
And your worth certainly isn’t determined by your body type or job title.‼️

If you like this, you can read the full article in my link to my newsletter in the bio ⬆️🔗

We’ve never had access to more information about health, fitness and wellness.🧠‼️ 
And somehow, we’ve managed to make it all so bloody complicated. 😂 
We’re worrying about which supplements to take while barely getting enough sleep.😩
 We’re obsessing over macros without considering our eating patterns, behaviours or relationship with food.😩 
We’re chasing a certain body fat percentage without asking whether it’s actually healthy or sustainable for us.😩😩😩 
We’re making sure our Apple Watch rings are closed, even when we’re exhausted, stressed and running on empty.😩 
And we’re spending money on recovery hacks while struggling to take an actual rest day.😩 
Now, I’m not saying any of these things are inherently bad. 
Supplements can be beneficial. Tracking macros has its place. Activity trackers can encourage movement. Ice baths might have a place. 
But useful for WHO? For WHAT? And at what expense? 
Something being popular doesn’t automatically mean it’s necessary for you.‼️ 
And something being good for your health doesn’t mean more of it is always better.‼️ 
This is one of the reasons I think having a good coach can be so valuable.💓 
Not just to help you work towards the things you’d like to improve, but to help you understand what actually deserves your attention, what might benefit you, and what you really don’t need to worry about so much.💓 
Because your health and fitness shouldn’t feel like another full-time job.‼️ 
I have spaces available for 1:1 online coaching.⬆️✨ 
If you’d like personalised support with strength training, nutrition, body image or your relationship with food,
 DM me “COACHING” or click the link in my bio to enquire. ❤️

Big love

You can be disciplined, ambitious and determined as hell without being your own worst critic. ❤️ 
And dancers, I’m particularly looking at you. 👀 
There’s a difference between wanting to improve and constantly feeling like you’re not doing enough. (I’m literally talking to myself here 😂)  
You can track your training, work towards big goals, challenge yourself and take your progress seriously.💃🏻 
But guilt, self-criticism and punishment don’t need to be the driving forces behind those behaviours.‼️ 
Research into motivation suggests that when we engage in healthy behaviours because they align with our values, interests and goals, we’re more likely to maintain them over time.✨ 
And this is a HUGE part of the work I do with my coaching clients.🧠
Because we’re not just looking at WHAT you’re doing. We’re looking at WHY you’re doing it.‼️ 
You can want to improve without constantly treating yourself like a problem that needs fixing.☺️ 
If you’re a dancer or ex-dancer wanting to build strength, improve your relationship with food and training, and work on the mindset behind your behaviours, drop me a message to chat about 1:1 coaching. ❤️

What I did so you don’t have to ‼️‼️

Here’s some behaviours I engaged in that stemmed from a poor body image 😩

Posting this so you can notice if your engaging in the same behaviours I did or notice triggers or signs you may need to work on your body image 💓

If your looking at working with someone to improve this…

Drop me a DM with the word COACHING ✨

We can have a good chat on what’s going on and what you really need help with ☺️💓

I haven’t even posted our full routine for @theplatformaus 🥹

It was an absolute pleasure to choreograph something for this, and even more special having 7 of us dancing it together 🤍 @larasalsera
This piece came from a lot of my own thoughts around mirrors, body image and the idea of an “ideal” body, and what happens when we stop looking at ourselves through everyone else’s eyes.

Very, very excited to keep putting more of my ideas into choreography and growing creatively.

And very, very proud of these gals 🥹
@jessleib @jadejessicacollins @larasalsera @grace_ramsey @_lucycrozier

Exciting things to come ☺️✨

It’s very rarely about the food when someone describes struggling with weight management…

I hate to break it to you, but if this is you, a meal plan or stricter food rules probably aren’t going to help. ‼️

The goal isn’t to remove all emotional eating.

Food is there not only to fuel you for your training sessions, but for comfort, connection, enjoyment and celebration too. And that’s part of having a great relationship with food. 💓

The trick is being able to ask:

“Am I genuinely enjoying this, or is this filling a void?”

Because the triggers that drive our behaviours around food MATTER. ‼️

If you’re struggling with this exact aspect of your nutrition, think about what’s driving the behaviour.

And then ask yourself: could I feel fulfilled elsewhere?

This is what some relationship-with-food work can look like. ☺️💓

If you need more support, drop me a DM with “COACHING” — I have a few online coaching spots open RN. 💓

Big love,
