Intuitive Shamanic Healing and Movement Medicine

08/23/2025

Something magical happened on our monthly women’s walk on the plateau.

We started our walk in the early morning to escape the heat of the day. There was a slight fear tickling in my belly that it may get too hot for me as the hike progressed. That would not be a problem, come to find out 😂

Just as the temperature began to rise slightly, the sky darkened. Then there was lightening. Then thunder. At this point we were at the middle of our trek, so we had no choice other than to keep on moving.

The sky cracked, opened , and dumped rain on us hard for our entire trek back to our cars.

We giggled. Chanted “rainbow, rainbow, rainbow”. Marveled. Smelled the earthy things rising with the wetness. Met a horse friend.

Even though I knew it was raining down on other people in other places, it kinda felt special and just for “us” somehow. Our little group of women who like to chat with the trees, and take photos of “special” rocks. It felt like Mother Nature was speaking to us and telling us to let it all go and wash away with the rain.

As I tend to do, I thought about our ancestors trekking through all sorts of weather and how funny it is that rain (a very normal and natural thing) could make us giggle and become playful again.

I enjoy our monthly hikes that organizes. Our community is growing and I’m really grateful to have met this wonderful person who started it all. Being in nature is so healing, and silly, and wonderful.

This is why an embodiment practice is so important to healing.

But I will warn you, it’s not always enjoyable. There is this misconception that yoga or somatic movement always feels good or makes your life a breeze. No.

The stuff comes up. The memories rise from the muscles and bones. And you might see them again.

But I assure you… when you watch them in stillness, in the quiet of savasana, that is the ghost of their existence. And returning in consistency and in devotion will be your most potent medicine.

Come to your mat when you are unmotivated. Come to your mat when you are sad. Anxious. Lost.

Come to your mat when you are strong and standing in your power.

Here we will practice the breath. We will calm our systems. Learn to sit with the uncomfortable. Learn to be in your power.

I offer a space for this embodiment at the Inner Temple workshop held monthly at

Inner Temple is a blend of movement embodiment medicine teamed up with vibrational sound healing and meditation. It’s a beautiful experience that leaves us feeling freer and more relaxed. Releasing stuck emotion through movement and guiding us to healthier relationships with our bodies.

Join me tonight!

It is here, on our mat, that we may take great leaps through small and consistent steps. Where we may meet challenges in bite sized chunks. Listening to our body’s wisdom to align our movements that translates to aligning choices out in the “real world”. Is it time to back off a bit? Is it time to push forward a bit more?

Asana shows us many things. I see through hanumanasana the progress made with time and with focus, how our bodies can yield and change. How we can shape ourselves through returning to our practice with consistency. We start with one slow and deep breath. One morning on the mat. One afternoon under a tree. One night ended in prayer. And then one day, we are softer. Maybe calmer. Maybe a bit stronger. It’s where the intelligent systems of yoga meet the intelligent technology of the body and soul.

What have you learned from your practice today?

Planning for my very first yoga class. I can’t help but feel a full circle being completed as I step onto the path to start another.

I used to spend hours upon hours lesson planning for my athletes in order to prepare them for competition season. I would get a new group of littles that would move up and I would be tasked with teaching them their beam and floor routines. This meant making sure they have experienced enough progressive drills and understood all the choreography. Musicality. Even teaching them a bit about how their routines will be judged. Make sure it’s all memorized and throughly practiced. Make sure they are strong enough to perform. Confident enough.

I mapped out entire years of preschool gymnastics lesson plans complete with fun themes and enough repetition to build strong bodies and confident movers. Always making sure that the basic skills and safety were solidly implemented.

Here I am again. Notepad, pen, references, notes. Ready to map it out. But this time I’m starting with fresh eyes and fresh skin. I’m learning. I’m a yoga baby. It’s both exciting and a little terrifying but I will do this like I do everything in life … trial by fire.

I’ve always loved this part of teaching. Looking at the big picture and figuring out how to get there over the weeks, and months, and even years. How fantastic that I get to do it again only now in a slightly different manner.

I can’t even begin to express how much joy this brings me. Thank you to those that have been coming to my Inner Temple and Mana Movement classes. And thank you to those that have supported me or will support my journey as a yoga instructor. Even though I’m just starting out and feel like I have so much to learn, I do know one thing is for sure … my students will always be on my heart and mind and I put my everything into being the best little instructor I can be. This has been medicine for me and I hope I can share it with you too.

It’s been a really, really busy last few months and I’m really, really tired… but I did it!! I completed my 200 hour YTT and now, I’m officially a yoga teacher!! The journey was intense but really special and it’s only just begun really.

My teachers and and .kristenrud at have taught me so much and not to be dramatic, but this experience was life changing. I made so many wonderful friends from this experience too ❤️

I get a month off before I start a mentorship and internship and I teach my first yoga class July 22 😳 😬😊🤩😎

Diving in. Taking leaps of tremendous faith. Falling until your wings are flung open to catch you.

The flight is unsteady. The flying is exhilarating. It’s free. Untethered. Open. Terrifying.

Last night at Full Moon we discussed shedding old skin and releasing fears. And it was interesting because the discussion about releasing fears was more about reframing our perception around fears. Fear tells us something. It illuminates where there is opportunity for growth and expansion. And the saying “nothing spectacular happens in the comfort zone” really hits home.

Movement and community have been the most formative tools for me. It makes such a difference when you find “your people”. And when you start to really dive in fully to this Earth experience, you find your people everywhere.

We move together, we heal together. We shake off the stale and the heavy. We breathe the essence through our bodies as we open ourselves not only to movement, but to possibility. To growth.

Join me at Inner Temple for movement and community. Healing, expansion and softness. Sound, regulation, healing, release. All of it.

Shedding Skin

Pulling out of the old scarred skin
(old rough thing I don’t need now
I strip off
slip out of
leave behind)

I slough off deadscales
flick skinflakes to the ground

Shedding toughness
peeling layers down
to vulnerable stuff

And I’m blinking off old eyelids
for a new way of seeing

By the rock I rub against
I’m going to be tender again

Let’s meet at the heart and dance and float and change into something new.

Tell me your secrets and I’ll hold them in my gentle hands. We’ll write them in the stars so that they are never lost. And when our granddaughters find them one day, wrapped in fine silk and linen, we can rejoice that these secrets are whispered on young lips once again.

Let’s meet at the heart and become something new. Something of me and something of you.
