Service Description

Coming Home to the Body Through Sensual Somatic Movement & Pole She Moves Within is a slow, intuitive somatic movement practice for women of all ages and all levels, with special care for those navigating perimenopause and menopause. This class is an invitation to feel at home in your body, reclaim pleasure, vitality, and creative aliveness, no matter your age or stage of life. Rooted in sensation rather than shape, the practice weaves gentle, juicy movement, breath, music, and intuitive exploration. The pole is introduced as a supportive partner and mirror—a steady, unwavering presence that reflects back our strength, beauty, and capacity to trust ourselves. It is a solid dance partner, allowing movement to unfold with curiosity, confidence, and play. EMA is sensual & spiritual rather externally focused sexuality. The class is trauma-aware, choice-based, and accessible—no prior pole or dance experience is needed. Over the course of this 2 hour movement experience, participants often leave feeling more grounded, creatively awakened, and deeply connected to themselves—carrying a renewed sense of pleasure that is steady, nourishing, and embodied. Why the Pole? In this practice, the pole is not about tricks, performance, or how anything looks. It is used as a mirror, an ally, and a point of relationship. The pole offers us something rare: a completely solid, reliable partner. It gives us continuous feedback—reflecting our strength, balance, vulnerability, and beauty without judgment. We can lean into it, spiral around it, pause with it, and listen through it. It supports us when we need grounding, and invites expansion when we’re ready to explore. For many women, especially as the body changes over time, the pole becomes a powerful way to feel trust again—in the body, in movement, and in our own inner authority. It meets us exactly where we are, whether we want gentleness, play, steadiness, or expression. You do not need any pole experience. You are never required to lift, climb, or perform. The pole is there as an option—a stable presence that helps us feel ourselves more clearly from the inside out. This integrative approach to a dance practice is both fun and deeply nourishing.
