Honestly wow.

Words cannot describe the power felt in the room yesterday. 

A space where connection and respect was so deeply felt after minutes of knowing each other. 

So much to come, but for now - here’s to the women who showed up yesterday. (& Jay for capturing such special moments)

You are everything ❤️

This is my dream.

Creating a space for women to feel powerful in flow in their bodies, no matter what season they’re in.

A space to connect with movement and flow without the pressure of perfect poses or getting it “right.”

Just letting go.

Coming back into their bodies.
Back into the feeling of flow and movement outside of posing, cardio, weights. 

For our 3rd birthday last week, that was exactly what we created.

Meditation. Sensual floor work. Mobility flow. Silhouette play. Solo photoshoots.

A room filled with women in completely different chapters.

Athletes deep in prep.
Athletes in their off season.
Athletes less than 7 weeks out, meeting women they’ve looked up to throughout their journey.
Athletes who hadn’t shared a room since our weekly workshops during their season, reunited months after stepping off stage.
Athletes who hadn’t put a bikini back on since their show, stepping in front of the camera again, this time not to perfect a pose, but to play with their shape, movement and sensuality.

And none of those seasons mattered in that room.
There was nothing to prove.
Just women moving, feeling, connecting and remembering that their relationship with their body gets reignited in a different way beyond the stage.

For those who know me, the post show disconnection phase has always broken my heart more than anything. I always get broken after shows because I carry the weight our team feel and I understand it. 

Because I never wanted this community to only exist when there was a show to prepare for.

My biggest mission has always been to bring women together regardless of the season or chapter they’re in and remind them of their power across all seasons. 

To give them somewhere to return to.

To themselves.
To their bodies.
To movement.
To each other.

To feel.
To flow.

And to walk out feeling powerful in the body they have right now not only the one they bring to stage.

This is my dream.

And I still get emotional every time I think about what we created in that room. 

Thank you to athletes, brands and the leaders who made our event one I’ll remember for a lifetime.

Yesterday was everything we could’ve dreamed of and more. 

To every athlete who joined us in Sydney, thank you for trusting us, showing up wholeheartedly, and celebrating alongside us. Watching this community connect beyond the stage is exactly why these days exist.

Yesterday was part of a much bigger vision for IPA.

To create spaces where women, no matter what phase or season they’re in, can reconnect with the power of their bodies, not just through chasing the visual of their physiques, but through how they feel. Through movement. Through flow. Through presence. Through reconnecting with the essence of who they are beyond the mirror.

A huge thank you to the incredible women and businesses who helped bring this event to life. We intentionally partnered with brands built by powerful women, from within our own athlete and coaching community, alongside women who pour so much into supporting and elevating our athletes.

This is what IPA is about.

Women backing women.
Creating opportunities for one another.
Building something bigger than ourselves.
Doing all things with heart, leadership and with the athlete experience at the centre of what we do. 

The energy of that room was electric and filled with so, so much love, you just had to be there. 

Here’s to 3 years of @internationalposingacademy 
GC and Melbourne, we’re coming to celebrate with you soon 

Thank you to everyone who made yesterday so special.
