Class Description:
A style that allows you to explore your femininity while feeling confident in your body, mind and soul. Each class starts with an Energy Talk where we discuss the kinds of experiences we should draw from to allow movements to feel more natural to our bodies. Understand that it's not about being perfect but being ultimately you. Don't be afraid to take risks..it's the only way we grow.
