Benefits of Twerking:
Twerking offers a variety of physical, emotional, and mental benefits, making it a fun and empowering form of movement. Here are a few key benefits:
Improved Core Strength: Twerking requires significant engagement of the core muscles, which can help strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles, lower back, and hips.
Increased Flexibility and Mobility: The hip movements in twerking can improve flexibility in the hips, pelvis, and lower back, which may enhance overall mobility and reduce stiffness.
Boosts Confidence and Body Positivity: Twerking encourages you to embrace and celebrate your body, boosting self-confidence and fostering a positive relationship with your physical self.
Cardiovascular Health: The energetic and rhythmic nature of twerking can elevate your heart rate, providing a cardiovascular workout that can improve overall fitness and endurance.
Mental Health and Stress Relief: As with many forms of dance, twerking can serve as a stress reliever, helping to release tension, improve mood, and reduce anxiety through movement and rhythm.
Empowerment and Sensuality: Twerking helps you connect with your sensuality, encouraging you to feel empowered in your own skin. It’s a celebration of your body’s natural movement and strength.
Increased Coordination and Balance: The coordination needed to execute twerking movements can improve overall balance and body awareness, making it a fun and functional workout.
Strengthens Glutes and Lower Body: The repetitive motion of twerking targets and tones the glutes, thighs, and calves, helping to build strength in the lower body.
Twerking isn't just about movement—it’s about self-expression, fun, and empowerment. Whether for fitness, confidence, or mental well-being, twerking offers a unique combination of benefits!
“Mikayla is an amazing twerk guide and teacher. I loved the way she started the class with a meditation/breathwork, then amped the energy up and then back down again at the end. She brings a very light, fun, sexy and empowered energy to the class and helped me really get into my hips and move a lot of energy. Highly recommend attending one of her Twerkshops!”

"I went to one of Mikayla’s Twershops, and it was such a blast! The vibe was so good—lots of energy, a super supportive community, release and joy! It felt like the perfect mix of letting loose and learning some new booty-shaking moves. Highly recommend if you want to have fun, get grounded and feel amazing while dancing!"
