Hi friends,
This week’s video is inspired by a question that came up twice in 24 hours—always a good indicator that it's worth addressing:
👉 “What do I do when I feel fear during a movement practice? How do I work toward the edge without pushing too far?”
Fear is a natural part of movement, especially when there’s a fall involved, or a shift of weight into unfamiliar territory (hello, handstands 👋). But when we push too far into fear, our nervous system kicks into high alert—bracing, holding, and blocking the very coordination we’re trying to build.
In this video, I share:
✅ Why certain parts of movement (like weight shifts and falls) often trigger fear
✅ How to make a movement smaller to find your “safe edge”
✅ Why starting from a grounded, anchored position can transform your experience
✅ How these ideas apply across different movements—from handstands to shoulder rolls to simply getting to the floor
If you’re someone who’s working through fear—whether it’s upside down, rolling, or even standing transitions—this one’s for you.
🎥 Watch the video above
Let me know what comes up for you. And if you find this helpful, feel free to like, share, or reach out with more questions. I love hearing from you.
With movement,
Jenn
P.S. Curious what your "safe edge" might feel like? Try crouching before your next handstand attempt and see what changes. You might be surprised.
