Teaching Zumba on Tuesday nights with @downtownspokane has been an amazing opportunity.
•
The people that come to class-
that brave being vulnerable NOT only for taking a group fitness class, but doing in OUT in public-
•
The workers Robyn & Lindsey who have been nothing short of amazing (even when I drop a rock on one of their fingers 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️)
•
And tonight, three children danced along side the class, and my heart nearly exploded.
•
This is why I love movement so much- community, togetherness, goofyness, & vulnerability.
•
As I explained to the class my mission, of changing the culture of fitness- I kept glancing at the mother, or the caregiver of these three beautiful kiddos- and thinking that for 30 min, I gave her joy-
Joy in watching her kids move to music- in finding a couple moments of solitude-
•
Odd thoughts, but it made me so happy. •
Keep showing up, keep doing the things you think aren’t making a difference - keep doing random acts of kindness.
•
I keep believing that in the end, kindness & gratitude will overcome-
Bc I refuse to believe he alternative.
