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 the Dance of Resurrection: An Embodied Dance Exploration of Rising Up & Awakening to Rebirth
In this dance, we weave together the sacred themes of Passover and Easter—liberation, freedom, redemption, and renewal—through the lens of Tarot, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and embodiment movement.
Rooted in the powerful archetype of the Judgement card (also known as Awakening) in the tarot, we’ll explore, via dance, what it means to reclaim the exiled, silenced, or forgotten parts of ourselves as an act of deep integration and resurrection.
Drawing from Five Element Theory in Chinese Medicine, we align with the energy of Spring and the Wood element—the season of growth, vision, and courage. We will strengthen our tendons, ligaments, and limbs, so that we can cultivate the flexibility and rooted strength needed to hold new life, like branches reaching toward the light.
This dance, one that we’ve done every year since 2018, is an invitation to rise—to answer the call, to awaken, and to embody the wholeness that emerges when we no longer abandon ourselves.
Come as you are. Let’s move, breathe, and remember together.
The dance moves are simple and guided by the language of storytelling. You are invited to receive the choreography, bring it into your body and make it your own.
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 movement forms we explore in Somos Luceros range from the Nia technique, Shake Your Soul, ArcanaDance™, QiGong, Yoga-Dance, BrainDance and more. Each class has its own theme and focus and are designed to facilitate somatic awareness and deepen embodiment of a range of human qualities such as strength, compassion, resilience, freedom, and joy. 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.

Join me for QiGong for Inner Balance & Harmony: Relieving Tension in the Head, Jaw, Neck & Shoulders
In honor of Stress Awareness Month, this gentle, mindful 30-minute QiGong practice is designed to support your body in releasing stress, tension, and energetic blockages.
Stress often shows up as tension, tightness or discomfort in the head, jaw, neck, and shoulders—places where we unconsciously bite down, brace, hold, or constrict.
This class offers a spacious and nurturing container to soften, breathe, and restore.
Through intentional movement, breath work, and presence, we’ll work to relieve tension, increase circulation, and promote a felt sense of ease and balance from the inside out.
Our time together will include:
– Breath work to calm the nervous system and center the mind
– A gentle warm-up to awaken the flow of Qi (life-force energy)
– Stretches to open the meridian lines and create more internal space
– Flowing QiGong movements that harmonize and regulate your energy
The sequences we do come from several lineages, including my teachers and trainers Dr. Robert Woodbine, Lee Holden, Daisy Lee, Marisa Cranfill, and Mimi Kuo-Deemer.
Class is 30 minutes long.

Join us for Somatic Interludes: A Space for Reflection, Revelation, Resourcing and Respite
Somatic Interludes is a weekly sanctuary — a soft pause in your week to come home to yourself. In a world that asks us to go faster, this is your permission to slow down. To breathe. To listen. To feel.
We gather once a week for one hour via Zoom, to gently step away from the demands of the day and into an intentional, no-pressure space of embodied care.
This is not a class to “get right.” It is a space to be — fully and truthfully — just as you are.
Each session offers simple, accessible introductory somatic therapeutic practices designed to support:
– Self-reflection: Listening inward with compassion and curiosity
– Revelation: Allowing insights to arise through body-based awareness
– Resourcing: Tending to your nervous system with breath, movement, and gentle structure
– Respite: Resting in a supportive, non-performative container
We draw from a rich tapestry of modalities, including:
– Guided somatic awareness practices
– Breath and body-based nervous system support
– Gentle movement and expressive arts (journaling + simple drawing)
– Mindfulness and presence-based inquiry
Each session explores a core theme through the lens of the body:
– Somatic Awareness: Deepening our felt sense of the present moment
– Safety as an Anchor: Cultivating internal ground
– The Lungs + Breath: Space, rhythm, and emotional flow
– The Heart + Connection: Compassion, boundaries, and relational presence
– The Guts + Power: Inner strength, truth-telling, and sovereignty
– Letting the Body Speak: Honoring the wisdom that emerges when we listen deeply
Somatic Interludes is both a place to begin and a place to return to — whether you’re new to somatics or deepening an existing practice.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the class/meeting.
