AliveBodies Embodies Body and Movement Educator and therapist focussing on breath, sensory awareness & alignment as tools for better posture & wellbeing

I am an embodied body and movement educator and therapist focusing on teaching postural intelligence. I blend learning from across different movement schools including Yoga Therapy, Alexander Technique, The Feldenkrais Method and Body-Mind Centering. With a decade of wellness coaching under my belt, I blend these experiences into my practice. My exploration is a deep study of the body through awar

eness, movement and touch integrated with anatomy, physiology, development and embryology. "BetterBodies with Pearl" is a journey to connect with life's essence through our bodies on the yoga mat. My guiding philosophy is simple: "Our Yoga mat mirrors our lives." I believe that the way we hold our bodies reflects our inner states. That long lasting change is only possible through a sharpening our interoceptive and proprioceptive abilities


The goal is to achieve:

- Movement repatterning for ease and efficiency through better coordination
- Develop foundational, full-body connectivity, range of motion (mobility), and flexibility
- Enhance overall well-being through revitalizing, mindful movements incorporating shapes and sequences shown to support brain health
- Improve balance, body awareness/control, and coordination
- Decompress the spine, build functional core strength and strong posture
- Relieve physical aches and pains of all kinds: from hip and back pain to frozen shoulder and trigger finger

I invite you to join me on this explorative and experimental journey.

He who thus denudes the universe is the only true monotheist. All others are worshipping heathen images. So long as men remain subject to the dualistic illusions of nature, the Janus-faced maya is his goddess; he cannot know the one true God.” Yogananda
