It happened folks— every dancer’s worst nightmare. I was 45 minutes from going on stage. I was at the end of an hour-long warm up. I went for a big jump, very standard, and I simply landed wrong. A slight miscalculation and I just crumpled to the floor. Thankfully, with all the Grace of the teachers in my life, I have trained my neural pathways to know that these are the moments to drop into an even more extreme calm— not panic. Everyone around me rushed to help (so kind and sweet!) But they all offered me the usual: ice and painkiller. My immediate response was a gentle “no, I’m not an ice person. No I don’t want to kill the pain yet, I need to know what’s happening in my body.” And I truly believe that made all the difference. I started ankle circles IMMEDIATELY. I didn’t even wait 10 minutes. Gentle, calm, soothing movements to keep the blood flowing, HELPING the body do what it needs: deliver the good stuff and transport the bad stuff. And I think the results speak for itself. 2 days later I’m walking without pain. I’m so blessed to have this awareness and so many amazing body professionals around me. We are so much more resilient and powerful than we believe. We just have to work WITH the body instead of against in. Part 2 with @olgaroberts_pilates coming soon🫶🏼🫶🏼 what would I have done if she hadn’t opened her studio in Austin?? @olgarobertsstudio (PS- I am NOT a medical professional… I have just been studying the body for over a decade with some of the world’s greatest teachers. People who don’t want you medicated, but want you thriving and STRONG. so… do with that info what you will🫶🏼🫶🏼) Endless gratitude 🙏🏼 #malebharatnatyamdancer #maleballetdancer #injury #rehab

Did you know? Olga has curated a team of highly trained dancers who have spent their lives studying and training to achieve the pinnacle of athleticism. And here at ORS, she is taking that lifetime knowledge of ballet and translating into dance medicine and a profound application of kinesiology. So you can trust our teachers to guide you not only through a truly remarkable class but through your entire journey towards understanding your body. That’s why it’s called Body Intelligence Pilates; because your body is speaking, you just need the right people to teach you how to listen. We are those people🫶 See you soon. -ORS Team

From France, with love. It is hard to put into words what this residency and time in France has meant to us. There are certain chapters in life that do more than give you memories. They return something to you. A sense of possibility. A sense of direction. A sense of yourself. This residency was one of those chapters. To everyone who gave, encouraged, prayed, donated, believed in us, or helped carry us here in any way: thank you. What you made possible reached far beyond travel. It touched our work, our perspective, our courage, and our hearts. It gave us the kind of space that can quietly change a life. To Mari and Jeremy, thank you for creating a place where beauty, slowness, reflection, and creativity can truly breathe. What we got out of our stay was rare, and we will carry it with us for a very long time. We are leaving France deeply grateful for all that was nurtured here, and for all that will continue because of it. What blossomed in in the Spring of 2026 will keep living in our art, in our choices, and in the future we plan to build. With love,
Navaji & Aidan #MoulinBelle #ArtistResidency #Gratitude #ResidencyLife #GlobalArtist

Man, I have to say it, but it is absolutely true what they freakin’ say. The food, the textures, the fashion, the sights, the air, the music… it just goes on. It was a very brief but very packed 2 days in Paris before heading into our 3-week residency in Southern France. But EVERY MOMENT has been full of something special I just haven’t felt in a long time. I question how I deserve such wonder and whimsy in my life, but man I try to be more worthy of it every day. We even got to start our intensive early with a new style of classical Indian dance with @tvovantao . So epic. Thank you to everyone who made this possible for us. From the bottom of our hearts, this has already been so healing and restorative. I can’t even imagine how we’ll feel after 3 weeks of creation. All the love and gratitude, Aidan and Navi

🇫🇷✨ HELP SEND THE GAYS TO FRANCE ✨🇫🇷 We have a wild idea: What if 7,000 people gave $1 or our GoFundMe or Venmo: Aidan-Dewitt-1 That’s it. One dollar. Not $100. Not your rent money. Just one tiny, delicate dollar. If 7,000 bright, brilliant humans say “sure,” this residency becomes fully funded. But truly — we’ve been invited to a residency in France and we’re raising $7,000 to make it happen. If you’ve ever laughed with us, worked with us, believed in us, or simply enjoy watching what we are doing… this is your moment. Where in France? After arriving in Paris for a few days to connect with some local artists we've met through instagram we will head to Mareuil, Périgord Vert, to join an international arts residency program at @moulinbelleperigord Help us afford this by giving $1. If you can’t give, share this post like it’s hot gossip. $1 > nothing. Let make art happen, powered by the people.

Honestly, over the last year I really thought I was done with Pilates. It just seemed that it had stopped helping me develop and grow the way it once did. Then I met the absolute FORCE that is Olga Roberts and my whole life changed! It is not undramatic to say that within a month of learning and applying her refined technique, my entire relationship to my body and every movement practice I employ has changed. I’m balancing longer than ever, my joints feel better than ever, and I feel a renewed hope for my longevity. THANK YOU for welcoming me into your amazing family, Olga. Here’s to a life of Body Intelligence to keep me moving forward 👏🙏🏼🫶 #pilates #olgarobertsstudio #healing
