BODY FLOW. SENSORY THERAPY BRINGING YOUR BODY AND YOUR SENSES BACK TO LIFE.
YOGA
Somatic Yoga
Connect to that deep well of wisdom your body innately carries.
Being able to notice what is meaningful for you in every moment is embodying empowerment.
When a woman gets into her body she begins to feel her emotions tapping her into her feminine that natural, empathic, compassionate connection she carries within her. Yoga is a powerful tool on the journey to helping you connect more to your self love and understanding you are seeking. As we work together, you will learn to approach movement as an explorer, practicing curiosity and mystery of self. Somatic Yoga has nothing to do with proper form. It’s not formal, rigid or serious. Rather than simply doing what is told to you, you are invited to listen to your own internal cues for what feels good to and in your body helping you become aware of what is available for you. Somatic Yoga reveals your choices as you learn to build personal agency. It is about getting to know yourself more intimately, increasing your ability and confidence to turn inwards, learning to stay with, not moving away and abandoning yourself.
Somatic yoga will help you with learn to meet each moment from a place of grace and offering your body exactly what it needs to meet each experience anew and learn not to abandon yourself in the process.
SACRED PILATES
When I was able to feel my strength was when I was able to see my beauty.
The most important thing you learn on our journey to wholeness is that it takes time.
Sacred Pilates was co-created by the amazingly gifted healer Jennifer Carmack and me. A Yoga teacher, natural leader, lover and mother of humans, Studio Owner (Wild Spirit Yoga), Pilates Instructor, Artist, creator, connector, healer, dreamer and empathically gifted Somatic Practitioner (yea, she really is ALL that).
You may ask what does Pilates have to do with therapy? Well, Pilates is an amazing way for women to learn to access and be guided by her inner compass and access her strength. Sacred Pilates takes Pilates core building qualities and dives it deeper into the soul. You will build emotional resilience by learning the language of your body and learn to ride the sensations of your nervous system to completion and release. Sacred Pilates is more than strengthening the body, it’s about strengthening your awareness of what you are noticing and feeling as you move. You build strength by uniting your feelings, sensations, breath and body.
The Pilates Reformer is a wonderful grounding foundation for building your container. Using the reformer as the base for stability and support, it helps you to orient yourself in time and space as you learn to align your body to your strength, trust yourself and gain confidence. This is a feedback process tuning you into deeper sensations and promoting the flow of energy that is suppressed within your muscles and fibers trapped deep within. You will learn to notice the patterns of resistance, fears and habits you carry in your body and learn to release them building self confidence. When a woman experiences her body as her own she is able to embrace and live out her life from her own unique beauty and strength.
FROM BODY IMAGE TO EMBODIMENT
Only wear clothes that make you feel good in your body.
As a therapist in recovery from an eating disorder, I share with you the powerful impact of being at war with the externalized image of my body and endlessly analyzing, criticizing and comparing myself. Feeling separate from my body caused me to control it and distrust it.
Body Image is the picture you hold in your head about your body. Embodiment is how it feels to Be in your body. Body image by nature is dissociative and disconnecting. It separates you from you. A woman separated from her body is a woman separated from herSelf.
Embodiment helps you experience what it means to live inside your body. To use cues and sensations as guides to further trust your natural and rightful enjoyment of your body. You can learn to live beyond the judgments of your body and embody your divine unique beauty.
