Hello my dearests! Hoping the holi-days are cozy, festive and joyous for you wherever you are. I know this isn't the easiest time of year for many many people and I am here breathing deeply into the uncomfortable humanness of this season.
Please reach out to me if you need to drop into your body and breath with someone.
A little update.... I am very grateful to be on a little break from a project I have been immersed in since late November. My work days were starting at 6:30a and I am not an early morning person, so I have been REALLY enjoying this holiday break by indulging in suuuper lazy mornings cuddled up with coffee, husband and cats! Oh the little things in life really mean more to me than big adventures as I get older. Stillness comes earlier as winter's nights pull me inward since the Solstice. And that has been a constantly reminder to listen when the body and mind stops wanting to engage outwardly, I used to force myself to stay engaged (HI, recovering people pleaser) way beyond my somatic switchboard was lighting up to signal that it was time to wrap it up!
A little nudge....If you are interested in EMA Teacher Training, studying with me deeper or just really care about some of the topics in the infographic above...I highly recommend signing up for SHAKTI MOVEMENT MEDICINE TRAINING.
I know it can be confusing as to what it is, so I hope my little Q & A sheet is helpful.
Here are some other things to know:
~ We meet one weekend a month between February and June on zoom or for some modules we can meet in person in LA if that is possible for you.
~ There will be free zoom check ins between each modules for Q & A or just to share and keep the community support going
~ What do you need? A computer or tablet to view the courses and books ( I will send you a book list upon full registration) as well as Yoga Tune Balls if you don't have them
~ Throughout the modules, we will do Qi Gong and Taoist practices, EMA warm ups and dance, Yoga Tune Up ball rolling, Self Care practices, learn anatomy and physiology, traditional Tantric Meditations, build altars, creative movement, writing exercises, book/article reviews, partner work and voice work.
~ You don't have to want to teach Erotic Movement Arts to take this immersion
~ If you do want to take the teacher's training this whole program is required before you take the Practicum Training.
~ I can support you with your financial situation as your interest and desire to attend this training is the most important thing and we'll find a way to make it work
~ Working at your pace is absolutely available, however showing up to the livestreams/in-persons may provide a more trackable and impactful experience.

Still curious but on the fence? You can take Module 1 only Feb 10-12.
This is the only module that is available a la carte. We will get into the foundations of SMMT so you will get a taste of the whole program as well as a lot of great material to add into your life and work around pleasure, why eroticness matters and how to start reclaiming and integrating your erotic nature into areas of your life that is most important to you. Sign up for Module One here and take advantage of the huge Holiday discount until Dec. 28th - $250 off

Also, I am so excited to announce that Body Lab will become an in-person class once again beginning in January - stay tuned for details on location, etc. No worries if you don't live in the area, you will still be able to tune in via livestream.
May you have a lovely time ringing in the new year - would love to know what your desires for 2023 are - let's dream the big dream of LOVE and compassion prevailing together and your true self's desire to be met!
