🌧🌱 🌷 April Virtual Flexibility Offerings! 🎪 (Patreon)

Hello my strange and wonderful patrons,

A brief break from your regularly-scheduled-Barbette updates to tell you about APRIL virtual flexibility stuff!

Since the Barbette creation schedule is INTENSE this month I'm keeping offerings limited – but if you want to get bendy with me and weren't able to take advantage of the last couple month's workshop dates, THIS MONTH it's all going down on Saturday April 22nd.

⚡📝 ️ SIGN UP HERE 📝 ⚡

This sign-up link will go out to my coaching & workshops mailing list on Saturday April 8th at 12pm, so you've got until then to grab your spot!️

What's On Tap in April 🌧🌱 🌷

🦖 Thoracic Park: an Upper Back Flexibility Workshop
12:30pm to 2:00pm EDT [Saturday April 22] • $65 CAD • 8 students max

• This 90-minute online workshop is a combo of classroom learning + practical stretches & drills that will help de-mystify finding more movement in your upper spine. Whether you're an aerialist trying to wrestle those big back & shoulder muscles or a flexibility fanatic trying to even out where the bend in your back happens, this is the workshop will leave your brain packed full of tasty anatomy & biomechanics info relevant to bending your upper back and lots of stretches and drills to add into your practice. This workshop is a small-format one meant for live-attendance with cameras on and discussion at intervals. Captions are on during the workshop, and handout & recording are made available afterwards!

🌟 NEW! Backbend-Along
2:45pm – 4:00pm EDT [Saturday April 22] • $20 CAD

• Join me for a new class I'm trialling this month – no classroom component, all stretching! Follow along with me on your screen through a structured class that will have you practicing your best and bendiest cobra positions and bridge/wheel positions by the end of the hour. Recording is sent out after class and stays available for 1 week!
• No need to be a contortionist to join this class! But you should be working on your bridge or wheel position to get the most of out it. (You're still welcome to try the class if you're not working on bridge! We'll be spending lots of time in cobra, too. But you might sit out 15 minutes of it or so if inverting and getting into the bridge position isn't within reach for you yet).

A portion of all student fees from my workshops go towards helping trans artists access virtual education consults with Dr. Jen Crane (aka @CirquePhysio !) for returning to training & performing after gender-affirming top surgeries. I'm hoping to be able to open access to this fund at the end of May. WOO!

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Don't forget to use your  special patron discount code! (it was DM'd to you for last month's workshops and the same code applies to April).

If this month doesn't work you, don't sweat it! I'll be offering workshops again in May (with hopefully a few more date options!)

All right folks, that's all from me for now!
Until next time, stay strange & wonderful.

XO
