Movement Awakening | Evie Gee | Visual Artist

Evie is a Seattle-based visual artist and co-creator of Exhale Movement. As a firm believer in cross-training for all kinds of movement, she became inspired to create a brand that would cater to a diverse range of movers and athletes. 

Today’s conversation is with Evie Gee.  Evie is a Seattle-based visual artist. You may know her as Evie Gee in the pole community. Her movement journey began with ballet and martial arts as a child, but her passion for movement didn’t develop until she was introduced to the fitness world during her college days in Chicago. After moving back to Seattle, her childhood and adult lives melded together when she found pole dancing. As a firm believer in cross-training for all kinds of movement, she became inspired to create a brand that would cater not only to a diverse range of movers and athletes, but also the diverse humans that could potentially wear her product someday. In building this brand with Jessica, they decided on simple and subtle design aesthetics to allow the focus to be on the mover.

In this conversation, we talked about the practice of breath upon practicing our craft, mixing martial arts and pole dancing, the tricking effect of leadership within a dance studio, social media usage for progress tracking, our parents influences on our bravery, and what diversity and inclusion mean to her.

Y’all, you gotta check out this jiu-jitsu based non-profit called Tap Cancer Out.
