Hello Reader,I want to tell you a story about a moment from the other day with one of my students. We were moving along, doing an exercise we’ve done a zillion times, when all of a sudden there was a fissure. Something cracked open, and my student stopped, tears in her eyes. "I don’t know what’s happening," she said. "I don’t know why I’m crying." ✨ By the way — this happens all the time. ✨ If you’ve ever cried in a movement class, you are not alone. I’ve been witness to it since my very...

Do you freeze up and hold your breath?Does your chest tighten?Do you walk faster or try to keep moving?Or lie on the floor and hope the earth will suck you up and carry you away?

Hello Reader, Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored what it means to stay rooted, to begin again, and to meet ourselves with clarity and compassion. We've circled around the realness of life—its shifts, its pains, its beauty. I'm ready to offer us something deeper. Moving With Grief is a collaborative event for you to be with what’s heavy, tender, or undefined. A space where your body is welcome to process in its own language—through ritual, reflection, and movement. Grief isn’t always loud...

Hi Reader, Every week, I have the privilege of thinking about you and dropping into your inbox to share something I hope will add meaning and connection to your life. I also get to show up live, sharing space with many of you in our movement practice together. For me, every time you read an email, join a class, hit reply, or share/like something—it feels precious. This is how I show up in the world, and being received by you is the biggest gift. I know it might sound cheesy, but I truly mean...
