In the Body as Resource series, you will experience guided practices and supportive materials that enrich the process of self awareness and transform limiting patterns that no longer serve what you want now. Through body-mind practices, you will clarify what is behind your No! and make space for your full body YES! to thrive.
Body as Resource is a 101 on body + brain interconnection. No previous experience is necessary, just commitment to your own holistic self care.
During this 6-week series of classes, you can unpack patterned mindsets & revolutionize ways your body, thinking, and emotions relate to how you feel and live.
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 rejuvenation within the container of an inclusive and compassionately held space.

Some class insights …
“This work has changed my life. I’ve never worked through my emotions, and more importantly, my trauma, in such a deeply interactive and dynamic way. Alycia has taught me how to be so much more compassionate with myself, and how to open to the world while holding space for the fears that come with it. I am so grateful for all of her expertise, life experience, and the deep and expansive Love she has shared with me. I would recommend any work with Alycia to anyone who feels called to explore being in their body and soul in a new way. ” - K. Yanagida
“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.
“Working with Alycia was like connecting with my inner mother, inner Goddess and high Priestess I had longed to feel in every cell of my body. Our work together cleared deep wounds of grief, anger, fear, contraction and heartache I didn’t even realize were still controlling me. She taught me how to feel safe clearing my own energy, fully feeling my feelings and moving through them so they no longer control me.”
- R. Tenenbaum
“I found Alycia’s work to be infused with both technical and creative styles of Yoga, Butoh and somatic awareness. She has a gift of intuitively sensing the needs of her participants in order to help them meet new parts of themselves. My experiences learning from and with Alycia have been deeply nourishing, helped me find a sense of ritual and grace in the seemingly mundane and given me a chance to look within my body to reveal parts of myself I didn’t know were there.” - R. Bjornson
“I have learned so much about my potential, and what my body can accomplish. The discovery of movement is fascinating to me. Alycia taught us the importance of doing everything with a purpose… How can you share with everyone else what you are feeling? I look forward to being able to explore deeper and more meaningful places in the future.” - W. Moreno
“I have absolutely loved working with Alycia, first as a part of the community cast in Ovum, and then as a regular attendee of her Deepening Sense workshops. Before working with Alycia, it’d been years since I’d taken a dance class or danced much at all. From the first time I walked into her home studio, I felt safe in her presence and under her guidance as a teacher. I love the intuitive way in which she teaches, a way that feels deeply attuned to whatever theme we are exploring, the energy and experience of the participants and group as a whole, and the natural elements of the world. In her classes, I feel encouraged to experience whatever movement is spontaneously seeking to rise up out of me, without judgment or expectations to do things a certain way. I leave her workshops feeling more connected to my body, to my heart, to my spiritual path, and to my own deeper presence in the universe. Her teaching is a gift, as is her bright, loving and penetrating presence.” - A. Liu Kellor
