Whether you consider yourself a yogi, dancer, or neither, the body always knows if you’ve diminished or abandoned yourself and your truth. She knows if you’re in self-created bondage. Like an oracle quietly summoning your attention, she will provide that steady, gnawing ache for you to re-attune, re-inhabit, and embrace her and your authentic self again. She knows her worth, power, and needs. She knows the way to freedom. It’s time to listen and let her lead.
10 Aspects of
Self-Reclamation
What you reclaim through your sensual movement practice:
1) Your Body
Your body is your own. You owe it to no one but yourself. Shower it with unconditional love and gratitude and care for it like your life depends on it –– because it does. Leverage your practice to discover and unlock its secrets, wisdom, and capacity for joy and pleasure.
2) Your Voice
Find and connect to your most authentic, pure, and powerful voice. Use it to move energy and express the force of nature that you are –– with your unique longings, declarations, intentions, missions, passions, perspectives, life lessons, values, truths, and boundaries.
3) Your Time
Your time is your own –– and it is the scarcest and most precious resource you have. There is no getting it back. Invest it in what really matters to you and protect it with all that you are.
4) Your Space
Your space is your own. Take up as much as you need. Enlarge yourself when it feels right. Declare and enforce the “size of your bubble” when you have the need for a big one. It’s an act of self-nourishment and -respect.
5) Your Intuition
Your intuition is your superpower once you learn to really hear and trust it. You can cultivate oracle-level abilities for understanding yourself, your relationships, and navigating your life. All it takes is practice.
6) Your Sensuality
Your 5 senses, along with your breath, are portals into greater presence, pleasure, and aliveness. Attune to them as a daily gift to yourself by moving on your Sensory Mat and feeling sensation in your body and on your skin.
7) Your Sexuality
Your sexuality and your turn-on are your own. It is your birthright to connect to, explore, celebrate, and express the most primal, erotic parts of yourself. Shed all shame around your body and sexuality and be free. You are worthy of all the turn-on and bliss you can imagine. Permission is granted.
8) Your Spirituality
Your connection to, and relationship with, Spirit (AKA God, the Universe, Source Energy, or the Great Mystery) is personal to you. Take ownership over cultivating this connection with rituals that feel nourishing, sacred, and supportive. Leverage this ever-growing connection for strength, courage, inspiration, and healing.
9) Your Desire
Desire is powerful, deeply motivating, and transformative. Fan the flames of it and know that you are worthy of the best that life and love have to offer. Although not all desires need to be acted on or realized, acknowledging, and when appropriate, sharing them, can be healing, empowering, and helpful in building intimacy.
10) Your Passion
Passion represents the things in life that grab you, fascinate you, light you up, tug at your heartstrings, and make you endlessly curious to discover and experience more. Be they hobbies, conversation topics, or unique missions, they should be cultivated like friendships. They will be a source of fuel as you continually invest in them.

Founder Bio:
“This practice was born out of suffering. I took my deepest aches –– the ones I couldn’t get rid of –– and turned them into a ritual I could do solo or with other women to move big energy, tend to my own heart, confront whatever bound or tightly wound me, and nourish the parts of myself that needed it most. I knew there were other women out there like me who craved a safe space to show up for an hour and be in whatever shape or state they found themselves on any given day: flatlining zombie, hot mess, or complete train wreck; shy wallflower or raging storm; nurturing matriarch, sovereign queen, or wise and luminous oracle; unapologetic hedonist or relentless and irresistible seductress. Here, all parts of the wild woman are welcomed, witnessed, and given permission to take up space –– which is healing for everyone, even the family and friends of these women.”
