New Year, Same You (and that’s the whole point)

Hello lovely Mob and suporters, and Happy New Year. If January feels a bit loud or heavy, you’re not alone. There’s so much pressure flying around to change ourselves, improve ourselves, push harder. We’re not doing that here. Mobilates is a place to come exactly as you are, wobbly, tired, low-spoon, hopeful, all of it. This year (and every year) we’re choosing nurturing, body love, gentle safe movement, and a community that reminds you you’re already enough.

Those with the least energy will push themselves to the very edge to support others. And those who are the poorliest, who barely have reserves of their own, are often the ones trying to make a difference in the world.
