✨NEW ✨ Befriending Your Body
with Leah Grace + Ryan DeLuca
Each Wednesday, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
May 8th - June 12th
Are you tired of experiencing cycles of self-criticism?
Do you feel disconnected from loving your body?
How would your life change if you were able to feel confident and rooted in your physical form?
In this 6-week Embodiment Series, you’ll be invited to take a closer look at the cultural and societal conditioning that contributes to the disconnection from your greatest resource - your body. You’ll practice connecting to the physicality, sensuality, and deep wisdom that is available and waiting for you.
Your body speaks a language all its own, yet we often turn down the volume on this communication. When you are able to hear what your body is longing to tell you, life has a new sense of cohesion and expansiveness.
What once seemed impossible or available only to other people will be your very own life experience.
Each week, Vitalist lead teachers, Leah Grace + Ryan DeLuca, will feature a topic paired with a unique style of breathwork and movement. Feel at home in your body as you learn how to access radical self acceptance!

About Breathwork & Bioenergetics
Breathwork has the ability to transform your deepest wounds, allowing you to reconnect with your most authentic self; to engage again, in a life worth living. Any human who can breathe deeply can do this transformational work.
Learn to be an explorer of yourself and inhabit your whole being so you can feel at home in your body. Your body is a tool to develop awareness, stay present, self-regulate, feel whole, find balance, feel connected, know yourself, love yourself and be empowered.
The practice of bioenergetics utilizes specific movements and stretches designed to break up areas of chronic pain and tension in the mind and body.
When practiced consistently over time, bioenergetics creates deep shifts and allows participants to return to their natural state of presence and ease.
Through breathing and feeling deeply, the psychological, physical, and the energetic bodies are harmonized and strengthened.

What people are saying…
“I’m not alone in my journey”
“Before starting embodiment classes I was feeling emotionally overwhelmed with issues in my life. I look forward to each class because they enable me to pause, reconnect with my body, and focus on feeling my deep feelings. I can bring them up and let them go.
I’ve benefited so much from these classes. I have such an incredible increase in energy and sense of not being alone in my journey toward self-integration.”
-Annie R.
“I’m recovering my authentic self”
“I have found so much value in the somatic practice of bioenergetics to release tension in my body in order to find more ease. I feel like I’m recovering my authentic self and rediscovering my innate joy.
I’m surprised at how open and vulnerable the members of this community have been with one another. This is one of a kind.”
-Matt J.
“The practices are helping me release old ways”
“My relationship with myself has changed dramatically. I’m surprised at how beautiful and intense the experience and my life has been so far. The awareness I’m developing and the practice are so helping me release old ways and step into new.
"It’s so validating to be with a community of people who understand.”
Erica J.
