Transform Your Life With a Somatic Practice

Do you ever feel half alive? Do you dream of a life fully lived but it’s as if it’s just beyond your reach, or as if something is creating a block between you and that version of yourself? As if you can see them, but can’t quite get there? 

Life has been a constant flux of contraction and expansion for me. I find inspiration, I feel capable, and then suddenly, fear, shame, hopelessness, and anxiety seem to arise out of nowhere, leaving me feeling controlled by my habits rather than connected to my own sovereignty. These waves often left me feeling trapped by my own self, and for many years I didn't have the understanding of how long bound trauma created patterns in my body, mind, and emotions, that kept me small, ashamed, unworthy, and feeling incapable of being more. 

Do you ever feel like this? Like you know there is more to you and life, but there’s a part of you that won’t let you? There's anxiety, fear, depression, and constriction that prevent you from cultivating more joy, peace, and freedom.  

It's not your fault. You are not broken. You and your body have simply made the wisest decisions at each point in your life for your own safety and survival. 

Many of us experienced childhoods that cultivated in us a sense of fear, unworthiness, and shame, because we were emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically silenced. This created self limiting beliefs and habits that were given to us from circumstances we did not consent to. 

As ever changing and expanding beings, through somatic storytelling we can unravel the past from our present and live an empowered and wholly alive life...........

Testimonials


"I knew within moments of meeting Dori that I was in for something special. Her ability to move her body so freely and also with a strong sense of self, really gave me permission to find my center and move without judgement. With a glowing yes to moving as my authentic self, I have cried , roared and laughed out loud. Becoming more and releasing more all at once. I look forward to her classes and I often share what I have learned from her with my friends and family."

-Barbarella

"Dori is a bright ray. She brings her light, dancing spirit to her Intuitive Yoga and Movement class. Her guidance and encouragement are invitations for me look deeper into myself to release, through movement, what may be in the way of my growth and expansion. Dori brings boundless energy, love and joy to her classes. I feel very blessed. "

-Donna

"Dori is an incredible teacher that holds space for each person in class. She offers intuitive and empowering movements that truly feel like they break down walls of repetitive thoughts/traumas. The movements that dori teaches in class allow you to feel strong and empowered, and I always leave class feeling much lighter and extra grateful for life. She’s an amazing teacher, co-creator, and guide. I’ve brought several friends to her classes and they always leave talking about how much they LOVED the class and how they wish they had a Dori in their communities. She is an amazing teacher that I will continue recommending to my friends and family!"
