Let me move you! I offer classes, workshops, retreats and custom experiences with Somos Luceros, ArcanaDance™, Embodied Movement Explorations for Body Wisdom and Wellness, and Somatic Dance-Yoga. I also guide transformative somatic education experiences as a somatic movement therapist.
I believe my purpose in life is to serve as a conduit for others to awaken to the wisdom and joy of the body.
I am a somatic therapist and educator, and I love to say that I am a somatic alchemist. I create and facilitate embodied movement experiences that support you in having a more loving, kind, pleasurable, respectful and empowered relationship with your body. I want you to feel vital, whole, strong, flexible, mobile, stable and in harmony with your unique body.
Whether it’s through Somos Luceros, ArcanaDance™, Embodied Movement Explorations for Body Wisdom and Wellness, or Somatic Dance-Yoga, I am a masterful embodied movement facilitator, bringing compassion, playfulness and joy to any experience. My guidance is simple, clear and will allow you to move your body in ways that honor and align with your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual capabilities and values.
My maiden name, Lucero, means “bright star.” I am excited to move, groove and share my light with you.
Movement Offerings
Somos Luceros – We are light, embodied. Somos Luceros is a somatic dance practice designed to illuminate the wisdom of your body and cultivate deep embodiment of archetypal qualities that offer lightness, depth and joy. The dance moves are simple and guided by the language of storytelling, opening new chapters in our bodies where we can see and feel our most luminous potential. Release the stories in your body that weigh you down and reclaim your light. In Spanish, Somos means “we are” and Luceros means “bringers of light” or “bright stars.” This name honors my father, my paternal indigenous ancestors in South America, my heritage, and our collective oldest ancestor, the stars. We are dancing bodies of light.
Embodied Movement Explorations for Body Wisdom and Wellness – A fusion of somatic movement practices that includes dance (including Shake Your Soul & Nia), yoga, QiGong, archetypal expression (mainly tarot), and other modalities that emphasize mindfulness and that guide self-knowing. In this class we center the experience of living, feeling, sensing and moving in our bodies. We learn practices to know ourselves more deeply, cultivate joy, restore from stress, explore creative self-expression, and ways to nourish the various systems (fluid, muscular, skeletal, organ, nervous, and cellular) of our body. Move your body, develop a deeper appreciation for the intelligence and wisdom of your body, and to learn practices to be well in mind, body, heart and soul.
ArcanaDance™ – The tarot, embodied. If tarot cards could dance, this is what they’d look like! Created by me, ArcanaDance™ is a fusion of tarot and movement that feels like dance therapy. Arcana is defined as a secret. Dance is defined as movement to music. When fused together, ArcanaDance™ is defined as a secret that is revealed through movement.
Somatic Interludes – A somatic interlude is a pause from your day to tend to yourself. We meet once a week, for one hour via Zoom, to take a break in community. During this hour there is no expectation or pressure to be anything or anyone other than who you are in the moment. This is a no pressure container to get to know yourself, and the voice of your body, more deeply. Together, we explore introductory somatic therapeutic practices designed to offer space for self-reflection, revelations, resourcing, and respite for our mind, heart, body and spirit. Practices include journaling, simple drawing, guided movement, mindfulness practices, and nervous system supporting breath and body sequences.
Coming Home to Ourselves Somatic Dance-Yoga Practice brings together movement as metaphor with the expanse of yoga with the intent to guide us to deeper embodiment beyond the yoga mat. These classes include simple yoga postures in dance form, mindfulness prompts, various meditation practices, the application of mantra (in English and Sanskrit), mudras, and the weaving in of the rich and deep yoga philosophy that guides us into deeper levels of self-knowing.
Stretch and Fly, co-created by me and Liziah Richards (www.liziahtherapies.com) is a unique empowering movement practice that combines simple dance moves and yoga. Experience original choreography that blends flowing movement and dynamic stillness.

Join us for QiGong for Inner Balance & Harmony: Flowing with the Five Elements, with a focus on Letting Go
The Five Elements Flow is an ancient Qi Gong practice that balances the energies of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water within the body. In addition, these elements correspond to organs in the body: the lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, and stomach. The flow we will do together is designed to harmonize these organs and elemental energies to facilitate inner balance, harmony and the promotion of physical health. This flow comes from the Holden QiGong tradition which includes the lineages of Mantak Chia, Dr. Yang Jwing Ming and Peter Ralston. Our focus for these two classes will be on Letting Go using the Six Healing Sounds.
Class will be 45 minutes long.
