how to build an intuitive daily(ish) movement practice that you actually love to do
for my creatives, artists, and innovators who wanna be moving their bods more often, but need a movement practice as imaginative and expansive as you are 🌀
WHEN: Sunday, September 29 // 12 - 2pm est
WHERE: Zoom (link sent after registration)
PRICE: $64
WHY?
ok you already know that only good things come from sweating and moving your body regularly…AND YET Resistance loves to pop its lil head up
the thing is, your body has a natural appetite for movement, it’s just been squished and eclipsed by a whole lotta weird programming… mostly media body-shaming designed to have you constantly thinking there’s something wrong with your bod. (BTW- there is nothing wrong with your body!)
we all GET that the body craves muscular churning and heat-making, BUT a lot of us have been hanging out in that ole’ chronic nervous system collapse for too long and it’s made the idea of vigorous effort the least. appealing. thing. ever.
but maybe Resistance isn’t actually the issue. maybe you just need a more delicious and thrilling framework for movement.
Welcome to ENTER THE SWEAT PORTAL, where we reimagine movement as a body-listening-party, and there’s no agenda other than feeling your own aliveness, however blazing or small the pilot light might feel right now.
go from feeling like working out is an annoying ass chore on your to-do list to feeling inspired as heck to wiggle your body creatively and intuitively…you know, like the way it actually wants to move.
In this workshop, I’ll give you the tools, structure, and creative imagery so you know where to begin with intuitive movement.
it’s not a work-out routine, it’s not a fitness protocol, it’s a SWEAT PORTAL—
aka a magic movement framework that gives your body permission to be in charge and let’s your mind chill and go straight to flow mode.
less git r done, more get lost in body-playtime.
Get your perfect 🍑 to class if you wanna learn:
🦋 how to feel more comfortable moving in an unplanned way
🪱 to go from concrete cranky joints to feeling like a supple, sexy earthworm
🎈 less floaty head bopping around, more ‘wow all my body parts feel miraculously connected to each other’
🔑 deeper access to your creative expression (all my best writing and ideas happen during or right after my Sweat Portal session)
🪄 get your sweet little brain properly fed with delicious neurochemicals that simply do not get doled out unless you sweat, flex, twerk, gyrate the bod - aka less stressy brain function (shout out to my adhd baddies thirsty for a more consistent dopamine drip)
🫦 more ways to stoke those erotic fires, baby - we are opening up the channels of pleasure, desire, and heat-making so you can be connected to your most essential physical expression.
We’ll learn, discuss, and think about some of our hang-ups around movement while also moving our bodies a bit and trying some tools out together.
Less zoom zumba class, more nerdy cool philosophy w/ physical experiments.
By the end of class you’ll have a framework on how to move your body creatively and intuitively, that you can use anytime, anywhere, without needing to follow anyone’s instructions.
