Push-ups are Political

Push-ups are Political

The worst ClassPass review that I ever received said, “She played these like social justice type songs that genuinely were so weird to workout to and also how are you going to make a workout class political? Like we need to hear about systematic reform while doing push-ups?”

Well, Becky, thanks for the feedback because from this review, Push-ups are Political was born!

I’ve created this unique movement practice for women, femmes & thems because, for us, working out is inherently political, defiant & rebellious.

Yes, fitness is fun, exercise is healthy, working out with friends is a form of socializing, and it feels good to feel good in our bodies.

AND being strong & physically fit is important to protect ourselves from being assaulted, abused, attacked, violated, stalked, harassed, raped, kidnapped, trafficked, preyed on, disappeared & unalived.

Through movement & fitness, we can take back our autonomy, agency, confidence & power by refusing to shrink into submission & subordination. 

By building strength + resilience in our bodies, minds & communities, we empower ourselves & inspire others. We are also combating hundreds of years of racist, patriarchal, heteronormative & white supremacist standards & values that were created to keep women, femmes & gender expansive folks small, frail, weak & vulnerable.

There are some things that we have very little control over right now in terms of our government, but we DO have control over how we care for ourselves + others and how we show up for one another.

In order to be a part of the resistance, we must be big, bold, loud, strong, united, ungovernable & unfuckwithable!

I hope that you’ll join me for this empowering 90-minute practice that combines storytelling, movement & community building.
