Lift Off Strength & Wellness

Rachelle is amazing Coach and Athlete, who decided to take a leap into kettlebell teaching by starting with Coaches Corner Foundations. Here's what Rachelle ( .s.fit) had to say about her experience:

"Damali is a thoughtful and compassionate Kettlebell Instructor who not only cares about her students progress as coaches but also as practitioners"

At Coaches Corner you will learn to safely coach 7 foundational Kettlebell movements in a simple and accessible approach for all bodies. Then finish with a teach-back session to solidify your skills.

And guess what October Foundations 2024 is open for enrolment from October 5th, and class starts on Oct 17th! 🔗

I'm thankful for you Rachelle and your kind words.

Are you just starting to teach kettlebells, what are the scariest things about teaching kettlebells?

🧐 Busting Kettlebell Myths
"a quick swipe through fitness culture"

Myth: Coaches need to "look" the part

Did you put on a few pounds? Are you feeling that you have gained weight? Life has been hard, maybe you’re taking a break but suddenly you’re not posting on social media as much... you’re only posting your face... maybe some memes or maybe infographics.

But then things changed in your life AND you lost a few pounds but NOW you post ALL THE TIME. Whether you like it or not your behaviour over time has perpetuated a belief that you were not worthy to be seen in your larger body and that weight loss is THE thing to be celebrated. These are the signs of internalized weight stigma and weight bias.

This is not first time my body has changed and won’t be the last. I chose a long time ago not to erase myself, to show up. That means you would see my body, moving, coaching and that would be regardless of weight gain or weight loss.

You will see me and know that I’m not embarrassed.

Coaches Corner was conceived out of the pure audacity that I could teach kettlebell skills to folks while also driving home humanity, compassion, empathy and transparency around the impact of systems of oppression like racism, fat phobia and weight stigma.

Folks, especially coaches, please keep taking those pictures, share those movement videos with YOUR body, do the thing that feels scary for you and feel how you feel. You are needed here in this industry.
