Fitness with Emily Fry

Last one - a comment from a participant after her very first class!

I sometimes get people saying ‘I’ve done bodybalance (les mils), is it like that?’ And I have to say no - whilst that programme has sequences set with music playing in the background, the relationship between the music and the stretches and poses you do isn’t as strong, isn’t the same, what you do doesn’t follow the music in the same way. In LyricalFlow, I start with the track, and the music decides what we do.

📍Navigation wise, the door to to our call is riiiiiight at the back by that blue house there - that’s where you’ll find us! Follow the music! 🎶

LyricalFlow is a ‘dancey’ flexibility and balance class, for sure.
But the goal of the dancing is to feel the music and get an additional sense of flow/mindfulness from a bit of self expression - there are no prizes for “good dancing”, everyone is doing it right if they are doing it!! ✨

(And I know it can be daunting to try a dance class that’s a mix of genres and not very specific in description. That’s why the class is FREE to try the first time, so there are as few possible barriers to taking that first leap 🐸

There is no need to improvise any dancing! The choreography is not too ‘out there’ - we aren’t all rolling over each other in the name of ‘contemporary’! If that makes anyone feel more comfortable!! 😂)

Just some feedback quotes from regulars at LyricalFlow 💕…

I know this is probably old news on social media land by now, but - So bloody proud of that Super Bowl performance, that it was considered and booked and they went with it. The whole thing Latin music, in its language, a show of unity and inclusivity in America just as it’s most needed. Well done Apple Music, well done Super Bowl organisers. No wonder the Orange man hated it… and anyone who is trying to marginalise latin American and Mexican culture in the US. Made my heart so full to watch. A hat tip to gasolina on the way into the reggaeton and everything… Ricky Martin showing up. Ahhhhh.

But also that salsa dembow in the middle was amazing and we WILL be dancing to it tomorrow in Zumba even if it has so many different parts I am sure to fluff it up. Can’t wait!! 🤩

Yesterday was magical ✨ Michael King is an actual legend, and his training built on the fundamentals of what it is to stand and move, whilst enriching the session with nuggets from the latest findings in fascia understanding and giving us movement breaks where he shared his extensive knowledge on Joseph, traditional and classical methods, the elders, and exactly what kit can be found in the Original New York studio! I learned LOADs, and my body is feeling all the feels today from simple and effective challenges.

Can’t believe my luck this month - I worried so much that becoming a mother might mean a significant break in my movement educational journey, that started in 2008 when I signed up to become an aerobics and Pilates instructor, was piqued in 2015 when I encountered and then plunged into new depths and speeds in 2019 when I started my training with . I am so so lucky to have such a rich offering of experiences offered by both Soul and Polestar, to have met 2 absolute legends that I never though I’d work with face-to-face in the space of a week. Still growing. Still learning. Still loving every expansion 💕
