Ep 23: Tia Jax on her Signature Style, Dancing Through Pregnancy, and Postpartum Challenges

Happy New Year Dancer Mamas!

This week I am so thrilled to present her conversation with the sensual fluidity queen, Tia Jax! Tia is well known on Instagram for her signature sensual style, impeccable technique, and for crafting beautiful, vulnerable captions sharing her story behind her dance on any given day. I have followed Tia throughout her pregnancy and into her postpartum journey, and I have always been impressed and inspired by her, and I was beyond excited for the chance to chat with her.

Tia shares her origin story as a dancer, how she came to pole, and a glimpse of her time dancing in the clubs. She explains how her mesmerizing movement style is informed by a combination of her classically trained dance technique, her expanding knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and the music and mood of the moment. Then we chat about her pregnancy and postpartum experience, and she shares vulnerably about her experience with postpartum anxiety and depression, her struggles to rehab her core and get back into movement, and the existential crisis so many mothers experience as they struggle to come to terms with their new body and new life.

This is an amazing conversation with an incredible dancer that I am so grateful to be sharing with you all!

PS: Please don’t mind my baby crying in the background towards the end: he was enduring a dramatic diaper change with my husband upstairs!
