The Experience
October 17th · 5–7 PM CT
1-Hour Shake & Release Ritual + 1-Hour Community Social
N/A drinks + tea provided.
Sometimes your body doesn’t need another mindset shift.
Sometimes it just needs to move.
Somatic Shake & Release Night™ is a 2-hour energetic embodiment ritual and community experience centered around shaking, movement, music, free-form dance, expression, play, and connection.
The first hour is our guided Shake & Release Ritual.
We’ll begin slowly—arriving, breathing, stretching, swaying, and awakening the body—before building into shaking, bouncing, stomping, intuitive movement, music, and dance.
There is no choreography to learn. No rhythm to perfect. No right way to move.
You’ll be invited to notice what your body wants more of, less of, or none of at all—and experiment with movement as a way of listening, expressing, and taking up space rather than performing.
Then we shift from practice into community.
For the second hour, the studio opens into a relaxed social space with non-alcoholic drinks and tea provided, music, conversation, and time to connect.
Stay energized. Cool down. Meet someone new. Sit on the floor with your tea. Keep dancing. Laugh. Talk. Be quiet. Leave when you’re ready.
This isn’t about forcing a release or producing a particular emotional experience.
It’s an evening to move, feel, play, connect, and discover how good a little weirdness can feel.
You’ll Experience
SHAKE — Awaken + Energize
We start with accessible movement that gradually brings attention into the body.
Expect grounding, breath, stretching, swaying, rocking, bouncing, shaking, stomping, rhythmic movement, and moments of pause.
We’ll play with the contrast between:
Movement → pause → notice.
What changed?
Where is there energy?
Where does your body want more movement?
Where does it want less?
Everything is an invitation. Make it bigger, smaller, slower, seated, different—or skip it completely.
MOVE — Dance + Express
As the music builds, shaking evolves into intuitive movement and free-form dance.
We’ll explore hips, shoulders, rhythm, gesture, expansion, contraction, taking up space, getting small, slowing down, getting loud, getting playful, and letting movement become your own.
At times, Mayra will guide you.
And then comes the invitation:
Stop following.
Let your body decide.
Dance. Shake. Sway. Stomp. Stretch. Move sensually. Move awkwardly. Move powerfully. Barely move at all.
We may also play with embodied expressions of:
YES.
NO.
I DON’T KNOW YET.
There is nothing to perform and no one to impress.
RELEASE — Slow Down + Integrate
The music gradually changes.
Big movement becomes smaller movement.
Dance becomes sway.
Sway becomes breath.
And eventually, movement becomes stillness.
You’ll have time on the floor to notice sensation, heartbeat, temperature, breath, energy, emotion—or simply the feeling of having moved.
The question isn't:
“Did I release enough?”
It's:
“What do I notice now?”
You don't have to feel calmer, happier, lighter, or different for the experience to count.
CONNECT — Community Hour
After our movement ritual, the night isn't over.
For the next hour, you're invited to simply be together.
Non-alcoholic drinks and tea will be provided while music continues and the studio becomes a relaxed community space.
There’s no facilitated networking and no pressure to socialize.
Keep moving if your body wants to move.
Grab some tea.
Meet another woman.
Talk about what you experienced—or talk about absolutely anything else.
Sit somewhere cozy.
Laugh.
Connect.
Rest.
This hour is intentionally unstructured because embodiment isn't only something we practice with our eyes closed on a mat.
We get to practice being ourselves around other people, too.
You’ll Leave With
A playful shaking and movement practice you can return to at home, greater awareness of your body's sensations and preferences, experience with intuitive movement and dance without choreography, opportunities to explore expression and choice through the body, and—perhaps most importantly—an evening of movement, music, pleasure, play, and human connection.

Because feeling alive can be a ritual, too. 🌹
