Overview
Dance and move through the full range of human emotions, releasing what’s held in your body to a playlist-led journey.
Somatic Dance Release is an in-person event for the local community.
What to expect
In a casual, fun setting, you’ll be introduced to using dance and movement to release stored emotions and express what’s held in the body. Move through the full range of human emotions as you vibe to a curated playlist that takes you on a journey. Guiding you to let go, play, move, feel, express, laugh, cry, and release.
This is not another nervous system regulation practice to master. It is an invitation to let movement be movement. To let yourself be human without needing to turn every experience into a lesson, a breakthrough, or a path toward becoming someone else.
Lila Movement is about letting yourself experience a new level of freedom in your body through movement, music, feeling deeply and having fun!
more about lila
We are inundated with information, over consuming other peoples ideas, beliefs and perspectives, searching for the answer, an escape from our numbness. Lila Movement Somatic Release isn’t information, it is embodiment. It isn’t about adopting someone else’s ideas and beliefs, it’s about tuning into your own inner wisdom — you create the experience with your own body. The clarity and freedom we seek is not out there, it is inside of us. We are so busy distracting ourselves from our pain, we don’t want to accept that being with it and allowing it to be felt, is the exact medicine that liberates us.
The magic is truly inside of us. My spiritual teacher shared something that felt true for me in my journey, he said, “somatic release picks up where traditional talk therapy leaves off”. We can only talk about story of our trauma for so long, eventually we must quiet the mind, become present with the emotions held inside, and feel them. It is a daily practice to be where our body is, to learn to separate the feeling from the story, and to be with painful emotions as they move through us.
For most of us, this kind of work begins when we reach our breaking point. A life altering event collapses our world or we become so tired of trying to keep it all together that we finally surrender and soften, allowing ourselves to be cared for in a new way.
