A W A R E N E S S : Week ⚧🌈

Ever noticed on our booking forms we ask for student's pronouns? This isn't because we are just being nosey 🤭 It's so we can be inclusive and create a safe space.

For those that don't know, it's currently Transgender Awareness Week so we wanted to do a little post for this community to show our support. We don't always get everything right, but we are willing to listen, learn and adapt. And we think that is what's important.

Maybe you're not sure what a pronoun is? Well an example would be that coach Cee's pronouns are She/Her, and this is because she presents as female and identifies as being a female. A person who identifies and presents as a male may choose their pronouns to be He/Him and a non-binary individual may choose to be referred to as They/Them. There are lots more examples but it's all about choice and we support that 🌈🙌🏼

Why don't you spend some time this week having a read about Transgender Awareness Week and see what else you can learn? 🙃

M I D W E E K : Feels 🖤

Halfway through the week already!

Grab yourself a spot on Friday's class for some upside down-ness 🙃

T R U S T : the process✌🏼☯️
Whether that's hoop, work, life, relationships, personal development.. Whatever it is, just take a deep breath. Give yourself space to process, rest, reset, heal.

Whatever you need.

Don't give up on YOU.

You needs YOU 💜🌱

S U N S H I N E : blossom & blue skies

How glorious does look from our outdoor sessions throwback?! 😎🧡💛

We are SOOO grateful to now have a roof over our hoopy heads and can't believe how far we've come! 💪🏼⭕

T A K E A M I N U T E : 🖤🌹

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields ❤️✝️

S E N S O R Y : Needs 🧠💜

October was Sensory Processing Awareness month so we just wanted to do a quick post about it to promote acceptance of individual's different needs and provide a safe space for others to share - if they wish!

So, what is it?

Sensory processing is the brain's ability to decode information received from all of our senses. Contrary to popular belief, we actually don't have just 5 like we are taught at school. As well as taste, touch, hearing, smell and sight, there is also balance, body/spacial awareness and internal need awareness (such as hunger). Possibly more!

As you can see from the photo, Cee occasionally wears ear loops which she finds really useful when going to overly busy places like concerts and shopping centres, or just generally when she's feeling a little overwhelmed. They are discreet and easily portable and when worn they help to soften surrounding noises, easing anxiety and reducing sensory overload.

If you have any needs that you'd like to share with us at Willow, please do so that we can be aware of how to accommodate you and help normalise each student's individuality rather than feeling we need to mask or pressure to conform ❤️🧡💛💚💙

💟 GET INVOLVED 💟

Adult hoop class every Friday with coach Cee 🧜🏼‍♀️💜 6.30 - 7.30pm, improvers and intermediates also welcome 🤸🏾‍♀️

Private sessions available too!
