My movement and meditation classes are guided practices themed around the 5 elements of Chinese medicine for tuning ourselves to the natural cycles of nature and fortifying ourselves before seasonal changes, so we are better prepared for transitions.

The classes (usually) offer both in-person and online options and run for 6 weeks per element/season. While each series maintains a cohesive theme, I vary the practices throughout to keep the experience fresh and comprehensive.

Next Series: Earth Element August 2 - September 14th

Earth Element Healing Series

"When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point." — Dogen Zenji

Why Earth Element Matters

From the perspective of 5 Element Chinese Medicine, the Earth Element governs our relationship with nourishment, support, and stability.

Signs of Healthy Earth Element:

  • Present and comfortable in your own skin

  • Confident and self-trusting

  • Balanced in what you consume and contribute

  • Feels supported by existence

  • Generous, practical, and pragmatic

  • Satisfied, centered, and grounded

Signs of Imbalanced Earth Element:

  • Anxious, ungrounded, uprooted

  • Awkward, lost, out of place

  • Digestive problems and eating disorders

  • Compulsive behaviors and addiction patterns

  • Never feeling satisfied

  • Swinging between extremes

What Class is Like

My 5 Element-based practice classes are self-care and self-healing focused. We do Somatic Meditation, which means we learn to pay attention to the actual physical body in the present moment. This nourishes self-connection and connection to reality versus our tech world, our thought world, and our emotional world, which usually has no basis in present moment reality.

Connecting with your body in the moment and reclaiming the power of how you use your attention is typically experienced as very grounding, calming, and empowering. This is the fundamental point of the practices.

I also include self-bodywork, stretching, qigong, and other healing practices so you learn how to give yourself a healing treatment. My hope is that by offering these practice classes and teaching simple ways you can incorporate self-care into your daily life, you are able to maintain the discipline of providing yourself with some care.
