EMA 2 FULL CLASS: We will not Hide our Pleasure

From EMA 2 Archive  

Hello Fierce Women,

Some context for this post:

#1. Normally for the PATREON  archives I stick with the EMA Basics class so that the offerings here are easy to connect to but with the recent events in Atlanta and violence against Asians are up in the spotlight for discussion and action, I thought I would share this Intermediate/Advanced level EMA class. This class was attended by my BFF in Vancouver, some of my most loyal and long time students from across the globe. This IS MY happy place for sure.  At  the end of these Intermediate/Advanced classes, the students pick a song and free dance to it - sometimes as a group and  sometimes solo.  Before the  pandemic, class took place in my private studio  that had 2 stripper poles so we really got to push our own boundaries - sooooo good! The shared space and energy was always electric, raw and oh soooo FEMALE and NOTHING compares to this feeling but we've been making the best  of it on our little  screens and sometimes, it's almost as good as it was. Almost.  This class was absurdly fun, full of laughter, sexy kitten play and full of light and I thought we all need some light and embodied joy right now.  

This is my way to say FUCK YOU to the PEOPLE who blame us for their fucked up heads. No thank you! I will not hide in a dark corner when I want to dance erotically or be scared to let my HUGE appetite for FEMALE POWER, BEAUTY AND EXPRESSION EXIST and take up LOADS of SPACE!!!! 

#2. I love cats. My cats are EVERYTHING to me and  my  hubby.  So, when my  BFF was fostering  2 wee kittens and one  was pretty  sick, I sent out the Cat Signal for help and this  class theme became the  Save The Kitten Dance class. This is why there are cat references  and cat themed songs throughout. I  had told all  the students  to  dance  to their favorite 'cat songs' and the selection was awesome! Our collective lovecat energy worked  because this kitten took a big poop and started wrestling at the end of class.😽

#3. For  those who are new to  EMA, I  hope this class doesn't scare you away but inspires you as all the EMA basics, Body Lab, Qi Gong and most recently the EMA Immersion course you have been taking are the steps to feeling more  comfortable in your body and to eventually take an EMA 2 Livestream class and come take your spot as a solo dancer in  class. I believe in  you 100%! ✊

#4. At the end of this warm up, you will see me  just looking into the camera because I was witnessing and holding space for my student's dances -  at about 56 min. At one point I can't help myself and had to join in. 

So at this point, why don't  you  just  close your eyes, turn  off  your  lights and let your body  go. Have a fun dance party with your inner kitty! The class ends after the Beyonce song so  once you hear Bey,  you know that's the last song to really shake your tail and indulge in your body's purrrs! GO FOR IT!

So much love,

Rie
