Years ago, Brea of asked me, “What is your ‘Why’?”
And I’ve never forgotten this.

Honestly, it didn’t take long for me to realize my why why is… Curiosity and Exploration.

But this question that Brea posted to me completely changed the trajectory of how I teach my classes and the way that I bring new information into my courses. I’m curious about the human body and I desperately want my students to get curious about their own bodies as well.

Think about it: when was the last time that you got curious about why your body was doing something or why you were responding in a certain way? There’s science behind how we move through this world and when we can understand that science better - I honestly believe - we can gift ourselves a little bit more grace.

Christine, thank you for sharing your words with me. I am so grateful for your voice in my circle.

And Brea, I’m grateful for this question that has stuck with me for a decade now ✨

There’s something totally different about working so closely with death that makes you fall in love with being alive in a totally different way.
It changes how you move how you teach how loudly you’re willing to take up space in your own life.

That’s why I learn teach explore question nerd out and keep pushing myself because this body is here now. And that is a privilege I don’t take lightly.

If you’re someone who feels that too, who sees movement as a celebration of a liveness, this next year is going to be magic.

The mortal body starts in January.
This four week series asks us to sit with abhinivesha, with the way we cling because we care, and understand how even this fear of death has a physical, intelligent home in the body.

Brain based movement mentorship is four months February to May.
4 months of deep dive exploration for teachers and movement lovers who want to understand the nervous system not just as science, but how the nervous system shapes every expression of movement, perception, and possibility.

Your body and mind are brilliant. Let’s spend the new year celebrating them together.

I've been waiting MONTHS to announce this... ✨

Over the last few years, I've been teaching how the brain influences movement, how the nervous system shape flexibility, balance and coordination, and how sometime the thing holding us back isn't our muscles at all.

Every time I share a little more about changing how the brain processes inputs, I hear "THIS IS WILD!"

I am so excited to announce an entire mentorship journey that will connect the dots between brain and movement.

You get: weekly live movement classes, applied neuroscience you can actually see & feel, real-time demos where mobility improves right before your eyes, and a supportive crew of nerdy, loving, brilliant humans.

We start February 2, 2026.
