Smells Like Teen Spirit



Have you ever wondered what makes you fall in love with someone, or how you recognize when the right person enters your life?


Similarly, in fitness, what ignites that spark, making us "Fall in Love" with an exercise system? If you've been following my journey on social media, you've likely sensed this intriguing theme weaving through my recent posts.


I’m currently crafting an in-depth exploration for our upcoming Proprio-Synthesis class that unveils these deeper connections and I promise you there is more to come on this subject... But for now, I'll leave you with this: One of the key elements for “exercise chemistry” is the right combination of how it makes you feel in the moment, plus the results it promises in the long run.


To bring this concept to life, I'm sharing a free video from a recent group class. Discover the transformative power of a theraband in a full-body workout, offering you the reins to adjust the intensity. It's more than an exercise; it's a dialogue between your body and your aspirations.

For trainers captivated by the psychology behind exercise preferences, I extend a special invitation to join the live Proprio-Synthesis class this week. Scheduled for Monday from 12-1 PM, PST, we'll delve into the motivations that make us commit to certain workouts wholeheartedly. Your expertise and insights will enrich our collective understanding. Simply hit reply, and I'll send you the Zoom link.


Looking forward to unraveling these mysteries together,


Domini Anne


P.S. This journey is about more than the sweat and the numbers—it's about uncovering the deeper 'whys' behind our workout choices. Together, let's chart this fascinating terrain.

I continue to be wildly impressed by the teacher who runs this program. The scale alone is enough to make me want to lie down. Multiple age groups, massive ranges in talent … and somehow every student gets their moment. Which is important. The kids worked hard, the parents paid. Everybody wants to see their person shine. And...

Years ago I read a story by Tom Robbins that apparently lodged itself somewhere deep in my nervous system. A woman sits down at a bar and orders asparagus. The man beside her keeps inching closer and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Halfway through dinner he leans over and says: "You and I have something very intimate in common that you don't know yet." Suspicious already. "Tomorrow morning our urine will smell exactly the same." Which brings me to an important point: The rubber...

There’s a particular kind of compliment that bypasses vanity entirely and lands somewhere much deeper. Not because it flatters you…but because it names something you’ve quietly recognized in yourself for a very long time. In a recent review of From Molecule to Movement — the short film Hanif and I created for the Shulgin Foundation about Sasha Shulgin, MDMA, and the strange, beautiful collision between chemistry, therapy, culture, and consciousness - I was described as a “ Movement and Design...
