About

Roxie

HEY, DANCERS!

I’m Roxie Nebel and I created The Yoga for Dance Academy.

I’m an ex-ballerina turned professional pole dancer, yoga teacher, anatomy & alignment nerd, mother of serpents, Asheville livin' vegan food fanatic!

But moreeee importantly.... I’m an advocate + resource for revolutionizing the outdated, harmful systems, mindsets & training regiments that ignore the well-being of dancers.

With my system, It is possible to be at the top of your game without sacrificing your mental and physical health as a dancer.

I’m here to offer a trauma-informed safe space for dancers to heal, guidance to grow as confident artists & education to transform the way they train and relate to their body.

You’re in good hands,

accommodating the unique needs of each individual dancer is my specialty. In my classes, you’ll be empowered with the anatomy info to feel safe, confident, and empowered in how you train.

Don't wait until you're injured, burnt out, or struggling to invest in your well-being, you deserve to thrive, not just survive. If you're questioning your worth as a dancer, frustrated by your lack of progress, exhausted from trying to keep up with impossible standards, feel like you're always fighting your body or struggling with anxiety & low self-esteem, know that you are NOT alone, & there IS a better way!
