🚨 THE WEEKLY INSTAGRAM LIVES ARE BACK 🎙️
𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴

This time with special guests: YOU 🫵🏼

Talking about the topic is important.
Talking about other people’s experiences is important.
But people sharing their own personal stories is even more important.

Which is why I want to invite you to share yours.
This is a great opportunity to let out your views, thoughts and ideas. Or just let other people know they’re not alone with their struggles.

We can also just chat about whatever it is you have to say when it comes to body image struggles in social dancing. The lack of body diversity, discrimination against bigger bodies, pressure to look and dress a certain way, etc.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗘 𝗔 𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗘.❤️

I’ve already had amazing chats with people in private, and have the first 2 guests who are willing to share their personal experiences. I reeeeally appreciate everyone who’s willing to have a chat with me, I truly believe it will help create a better and more understanding social dance community. 🫶🏼

📣 𝙉𝙊𝙏𝙀:
The lives will be held on my .huuhka account, since I can’t do them on yet. But the recordings and more around these topics will be shared on , so give it a follow. 💛

See you on Wednesdays 🥰✨

A quick little tip for those who feel limited with what you can eat before going to a social :-)

The most important thing is always that you feel *comfortable* in whatever you wear.

And also I don’t encourage eating something you know will cause you pain or physical discomfort. And if the discomfort comes from you wearing clothes that are too tight and don’t allow you to eat:
change the clothes, not your meals.

K thanks bye. 😘

🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 🎄

Christmas time is usually very triggering for many, because of how loud diet culture gets. It’s basically impossible to escape it.

Every moment is filled with shared guilt around eating holiday foods, and comments on how to “make up for it” after Christmas… Eating and enjoying holiday treats is labelled as being “bad”, but then if you’re exercising or restricting your foods after, you’re “being good”.

All of this is just learned programming of the harmful diet culture.

Scroll through the reminders, and send one (or all) to someone who you think needs to hear them.❤️

Everyone deserves to have a peaceful Christmas without feeling guilty of what or how much they’re eating.
You included.

Sending you lots of love 🫶🏼❤️✨

Everything I do, is highly tied to connection. First and foremost: connection with the body. Moving the focus from the mind to the body. Learning to tune inwards for answers, rather than letting the external world dictate your actions and thoughts. Trusting the internal wisdom.

→ When you’re connected to your body, it’s easier to connect with your movement, and then with other people. And that is the core of social dancing. Forming beautiful, authentic, and unique connections in each dance.

No 2 connections look the same. It’s not only those mind-blowing dances where you melt into one entity that flows seamlessly through the space, being one with the music. It can also be very simple: meeting each other where you are, with kindness and respect. And letting that guide the dance. ㅤ︎♥︎

The biggest lie diet culture tells us, that actually is the reason why people feel out of control around certain foods:

“You just need more self-control/willpower/discipline”. ❌

That only keeps you stuck in a never-ending fight mode. It’s your mind against those foods. And this way, those foods will always have control over you.

Diet culture is very good at making you believe that you are the problem. All of your struggles are caused by YOU not being enough.

Not strong enough.
Not disciplined enough.
Not determined enough.

And of course:
Not pretty enough.
Not skinny enough.
Not young-looking enough.

But all of that is total BS (bull💩, not Bachata Sensual, although the correlation is very strong lol).

If you struggle with constant thoughts around food, negative thoughts about your body, or feel lost when it comes to eating, I can help you.❤️

I’m opening a small group coaching program in early 2026, DM me to get to the waitlist for more info. 💌

🌿 WELCOME TO PART 2. OF TRANSFORMATION: RECONNECT – Release 🍃

✨ About

This is a 3-hour journey to release tension, let go of control and come back to presence — through movement, awareness and dance.
We’ll play with tension instead of fighting it, explore what happens when fear or self-doubt arise, and learn to move freely, with softness and curiosity.
Because dance isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection, expression and flow.

• how to reconnect with yourself after emotionally intense experiences
• how to transform “mistakes” into flow and self-confidence

⸻

🌸 Who is this for:
For social dancers who want to feel more freedom, joy and authenticity in their body.
No matter your style or level — come as you are. 🫶🏼

This is a second step in a 3-part journey designed to guide you into the New Year with clarity, connection, and embodied awareness.

🌿 INVITATION FOR TRANSFORMATION – RECONNECT

A somatic & movement experience for social dancers
by Tiia & Agnes 💛

⸻

✨ About

This is not a dance class.
It’s a journey designed for social dancers, who wish to feel their dance in a deeper, more embodied way.
A space where you can drop the “shoulds”, slow down, and reconnect with the wisdom of your body.

Together we’ll open the door to transformation — through movement, connection, breath, and awareness.
This first workshop is an introduction to a full 3-part series, where we explore the four elements — Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire — each representing a different layer of inner transformation.

⸻

🌸 Workshop I – RECONNECT & REFLECT

🗓 Sunday 19 October 2025 | 11:00–13:00
📍Carrer de Santa Magdalena 6, Barcelona
🎟️ normal ticket: 10 €, support ticket: 15 €
💸 Payment options: Revolut, Paypal, cash

📢 LIMITED SPOTS
Reserve yours by sending us a DM. 💌

⸻

🌀 What will happen

In this session we’ll move gently through all four elements, touching each layer of transformation. Expect grounding, intuitive movement, visualisations, and empowerment.

⸻

💫 You will leave with
• a deeper awareness of your movement and emotional landscape
• connection to your body and freedom in self-expression
• inspiration to bring more presence into your social dance.

⸻

🌬️ What’s next

This workshop is just the first step in a 3-part journey designed to guide you into the New Year with clarity, connection, and embodied awareness.

Each session supports a different stage of this transition — helping you to release what no longer serves you, reconnect with your essence, and step forward with renewed energy:

2️⃣ Release & Let Go (16 November) – freeing what needs to move and making space for new beginnings.
3️⃣ Replace & Clarify (14 December) – grounding, softening, and finding inner clarity before stepping into the new cycle.

⸻

💛 Note

The first workshop is offered at a special introductory price – a gentle invitation to taste this transformative journey.
Those who decide to join the full 3-part experience will receive a discounted package rate.

It is all so highly appreciated. 🙏🏼💛
