🌀 The Secret to Getting Unstuck

When I was a kid, I loved those Chinese finger traps. Funny thing about them: the harder you pulled, the tighter they got. The only way out was counterintuitive—relax, lean in, and suddenly the trap would let go.

That’s exactly how training and life work too.

Pushing harder doesn’t always fix it. Sometimes, it just makes the stuckness worse.

I’ve noticed it in my dancing: when I soften into the problem instead of fighting it, I find freedom faster.

✨ Practice This

Next time you’re stuck in choreo, or struggling to nail a drill, pause.

Breathe.

Lean into it. Trust yourself.

👉🏾 And if you want to go even deeper, this is the type of breakthrough that happens fast in private sessions. Sometimes an outside eye helps you see where you’re pulling too hard. Message me if you’re ready to explore that.

Question for you: Where do you feel yourself gripping too tight right now—in class, in practice, or outside the studio?
