We all have the capacity to get to know our nervous system, our breath, our energy, and our patterns of thinking and being. This series will offer opportunities to delve more deeply into your dynamic Self to cultivate energetic awareness, healing, and transformation within the container of an inclusive and compassionately held space.
In this series we will explore the underpinnings of how we use or block our own energy, as well as tools to regulate your nervous system and discern real needs in challenging and blissful moments. Weaving through Bioenergetics, yoga, movement, and breathwork, we will empower personal resources to track patterns of thinking, being and interacting with the world; transmuting triggers, sensitivities, and wounds into fertile ground for personal growth.
This 6-month series is designed for students who are interested in deepening awareness and understanding of how your subtle body and energetic patterning relates to your experience of aliveness and connection in daily life! For practitioners, it can be an experiential resource for broadening your psycho-somatic tools for use in professional practice and self-care.
Class will meet one Sunday a month for 3 hours. Throughout the series, classes will cover philosophy and neuroscience, anatomy and energy mapping, as well as experiential practices, meditations, and points of inquiry for reflection, transformation and integration into daily life.
In the series, you will garner practices for:
· Compassionately identifying patterns of thinking and acting in relation to inner intentions.
· Discerning Somatic States & Body Sensations.
· Nervous System Regulation & Relational Dynamics.
· Centering, Grounding, and Integrating.
· Presencing & Body Reclamation.
· Connecting & Attuning.
· Saying Yes! To Pleasure.
Throughout the series will be opportunities to express your “no” and enliven your “yes” toward genuine embodiment of wholeness, pleasure and sensational bliss. As Anna Halprin once wrote, “Every experience I have had in my life is a resource in my body.”

“I don't think I could find someone more skillful in teaching these exercises - it requires vulnerability, humility, and personal expression to teach an unusual moving art / type of mindfulness. I have a VERY sensitive disposition - HSP is the Wikipedia version of my internal sensitivity. That said, I experienced the expressive portions of this class as an exercise in mindfulness that brought a distinctly different inner experience and feeling that I do not achieve in Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong or seated meditation.” Brett C.
“It's very interesting. Alycia, you really share your knowledge with passion and love. I felt a bit unsure at the beginning, but as more moves and sounds came out of my body, and my system, little by little, let go, I gave myself entirely to the moment, to the movements and sounds. It really felt good. Leaving, I was filled with calming energy and totally relaxed. Have to let you know that I had the BEST VERY BEAUTIFUL BLESSED sleeping night in a long time that evening... So, it is fantastic.” Beatriz B.
