Màrion Crampe Interview | Your Body Can Hear You | Episode #011

Today I’m joined by Màrion Crampe, an international Pole Star who has taught and performed all over the world, she has won championships, appeared on huge platforms such as the Ellen Degeneres show and continues to inspire hundreds of thousands across her social media.

Known for her passion and her energy I loved the opportunity to sit down with her and ask about her training and mindset practices.

Enjoy!

Sarah:                      Welcome Marion Crampe, thank you so much for doing my podcast.

Márion:                  I’m very, very glad to contribute.

Sarah:                      Tell the people, where are you? I just asked you, we should have pressed record earlier.

Márion:                  Yeah, I’m in the Réunion island. It’s like an island near … It’s a French territory, and it’s near Madagascar, if you don’t really know where it is. It’s beautiful.

Sarah:                      I’ve seen some of your Instagram stories and things, and it looks amazing.

Márion:                  It’s absolutely beautiful.

Sarah:                      I was like, “She’s somewhere exotic, wherever she is.”

Márion:                  Yeah, and it’s very nice.

Sarah:                      Awesome. Well, I’m super happy to have you on. We did this quite last minute, so I haven’t even asked anyone if they have any questions for you, but I’ve got some questions for you, if you don’t mind.

                                    I would like to know if you have any daily practises, is there anything that you wake up, every day, and you’re like, “This is what I have to do every day to feel human?”

Márion:                  Yes, I have. Actually, I wake up very early, so … Many people, if you ask a couple of pole dancers in the area, they would tell you, “Oh, Marion … At 9:00, she already have done the whole world.” So, I wake up like around … Mostly, every day, around 6 am, sometimes earlier, when I’m travelling, because of the jet lag and so.

The first thing I do is, I wake up, and I do my meditation. So, I meditate since over more than a year now, every day, it’s like my discipline. I started to meditate a long time ago, just a little few times, like 10 minutes, and now I can go for 30, 40, it depends on how much time I have. At the end, I think we always have time, if we want it. I don’t make myself an excuse, and actually, I like to meditate in the morning more than at night time.

I don’t know, it energizes me and also I feel like … you know some days I wake up and I’m like, “Mm, this one’s going to be interesting, challenging, maybe not as sweet as the other ones.” But meditation helps me to settle something peaceful and to get ready for everything that going to come after.

So, I really recommend … and you know so many people tell me, “But, I don’t know how to meditate, I can’t do it.” I can’t neither, I was like, no way. I’m like full on power, I will never be able to meditate, and actually there is not really teaching or there is not really needed to know how to do it, you just got to sit, close your eyes and find a point of like, to connect, and it can be your breathing or a picture or whatever. I recommend a lot of meditation app, that they help you at the beginning, to find your way, with people guiding you, and then you can find your way by yourself.

Yeah, I think it’s … I can see from the people that I meet every day more, that meditate, a big, big difference.

Sarah:                      Yeah, like how important do you think mindset is with your training. Obviously it’s going to help with your eve...
