In this EMA session we surrender to the greatest force of attraction we have as earth beings - GRAVITY.
Gravity desires our body.
When surrendering our tensions, what if we think of it as giving into this power of magnetism?
Explore the polarity and relationship we have, moment to moment to resistance & letting go as a way into our sensual somatic exploration.
Be well luscious ones!

Hello. I hope you are doing well. In the last few classes I taught, I emphasized the importance of the pulsing work we do in qi gong. For those who missed the last Body Lab class, it is available from Tier 2 and up.
Pulsing or pumping is a movement that stimulates Qi flow. Qi being our life force, this simple movement gives us more energy to feel ourselves in our bodies. It makes us more fluid, supple and connects us to our inner flow.
Try it - gently pulse your fingers or k...

In this EMA session, we work with the erotic energy of the Dark Moon to guide us deeper into Goddess mystery. Stepping into our own Shamanic wisdom dances, let's see what magic can be conjured through our limbs, heart and bellies.
You can do this class during any moon phase as the supportive energy of birthing a new idea, project, way of thinking or relationship can be useful for us anytime of the month.

A student in this class mentioned they just haven't been able to feel stretched out enough, even after stretching. And, because I love problems solving for my students, I taught a class with a lot of pumping actions in stead of just your traditional stretching stuff.
In Qi Gong we move the body to cultivate, move, absorb and sustain energy (Qi), aka our life force. One technique utilized here is know as pumping also called pulsing. Our f...

Hello my dears!
Happy June, how are you?
Are you noticing the seasonal changes in your environment as well as internally? How does the longer or shorter days (depending on what hemisphere you are reading this in) affect you? Perhaps some shifts in your health, libido, creativity? Feeling a little off is very common when the seasons change because we are always in an interdependent relationship with our environment and any shift in the weather...

Hello lovelies.
I hope you enjoy this class in which we shake the heaviness of winter, and move with the blossoming energy of spring. I included a bit of conversation in the beginning around the emotions this transition can sometimes bring, and the medicine for it. Allow this practice to help you bloom through frozen ground.
To your growth and happiness,
Rie
P.S. There will be no livestreamed EMA class in A...

Happy Springtime everyone!
In this season of rebirth and potential, the energy is rising and moving forwards, just like the plants in nature. It takes a lot of Qi to create new life, new ideas and take right action.
In this Body Lab, we focus on yielding and building inner power, so we don’t feel the need to over control others or external events.
We also safely move any stagnant energy from anger, frustration, and irritation and replace it with patience and gentlene...

Had so much fun in this class transitioning from the sleepiness of winter to the first taste of spring. In this class we flirt with the crisp friskiness that's in the air this time of year- awakening and listening to what our body wants. You may take it slow, or get a little more dynamic and playful with your movement in this class.
to your vitality, power, and renewal

This sweet, loving practice on a full moon invites us to honor our bodies as the sacred temples that they are. We connect to our heart first, and let it lead the way. How, where, and what does our heart want us to move? This is a gentle grounding & revitalizing practice that brings harmony to the mind, body, spirit, and senses.
Grab your balls, some cozy socks, and a blanket. This practice can be completed entirely on the floor.

This class is dedicated to those who have chronic tension. Using Poly Vagal Theory, we use soft feedback, vocal vibration and kinetic chains to help our parasympathetic nervous system guide our movements.
May you feel safe in your body my dears and find time to play and be spontaneous from a relaxed place.

Hello everyone,
I am sooo excited to share that my episode of the Embodied podcast with the incredible Elizabeth DiAlto is now live! I have so much love and respect for Elizabeth and her work, so I am honored to be able to share this conversation with you all.
Have a listen to hear us discuss the healing powers of the erotic, the difference between eroticism and sexuality, the effects of the male gaze on our sensuality, and practicing reverence for our own bodies.

She is a Goddess that is also understood as the Universal Feminine Power (Shakti). The festival begins Oct 6th .

Hello beauties,

In this session we began by brining in what is consistently EMPOWERING for you personally. Not from the conceptual mind but what actually uplifts your body, mind and energy? Have you forgotten? It's time to find it again.
This action of feeling alive, a stirring in your body to receive the breath, the love, pleasure that is ever present - even in the tiniest way is true ...
