What's next?
Ivory Howard
I’ve pulled back from other platforms not for a lack of things to say but because social media is so different now. Instagram used to be a place for interesting photos. It’s now a place for videos, notes, stories, lives, algorithms, and doomscrolling. Some days, it seems to take a team of people to feed the content beast. It’s no longer feels good. I miss the early days of social media, its authenticity, and the genuine connection that you could find there.
I’m leaning into what feels good now. So I’m making a change, devoting less time to social media, and putting more energy into Substack. I’m more excited about this than I've been about anything in a long time. Of course, I’ve had some doubts about diving into another platform. But it feels good to be able to slow down, send you a note that you can read at your pleasure, and share tips that help you workout consistently.
I’ve loved working with all of you through the years. We’ve practiced together at SCAD in Atlanta. We’ve practiced at classes hosted at libraries in Washington, DC. We practiced yoga in sunny San Juan. We’ve practiced Pilates at workplace events. I’ve met you in your homes for private classes.
The pop-up studio was also incredible. Welcoming over 100 people into that space in the BullStreet District, watching you challenge yourselves in partner yoga classes, hearing someone shout "that's amazing!" in the middle of a Deep Release class are memories will stay with me forever.
My Substack is just a continuation of this work. Subscribe for free and consider becoming a paid subscriber. If you’ve been stuck in the same patterns of starting and stopping, trying and quitting, wanting results but not seeing them, you need more than information. You need direct access to someone who’s been doing this for 20+ years. You need community. You need accountability. That’s what paid membership gives you.
Looking forward to continuing our practice together!
