What is Embodiment?

Embodi- To be present within the body.

Ment- To take action, process.

An embodiment practice is to FEEL the sensations present in the body, even past experiences and traumas. The action of movement allows space for these emotions and traumas to be alchemized into creativity and light, essentially releasing the stuck emotion from your body. It is through the verbal cues in class, and journal prompts where you will process a deeper awareness of the responses you choose to unlearn, create healthier boundaries, call your power back, and speak your truth. You become empowered + embodied when you have an unwavering strength for your authentic magnetism.

Why Sensual Movements?

Society paints confident dark feminines that embody their raw wild woman as provacative or complicated. Traditional society's idea of a “woman” are: to always smile and dress/move appropriately for no male gazes. THIS is not our job to confide to.

A woman that’s confident in her authentic, womb, magnetic power is going to move sensually! That’s what a FEMININE energy is. To put a limitation on that, is suppressing our innate power! Moving sensually opens up the portal to CREATE, MANIFEST, + embody the CONFIDENCE of your authentic codes with ease. ✨
