Let me move you! I offer classes, workshops, retreats and custom experiences with Somos Luceros, ArcanaDance™, QiGong for Inner Balance & Harmony, 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 registered somatic therapist and educator—and I often say I’m a somatic alchemist. I create and guide embodied movement experiences that help you cultivate a more loving, kind, pleasurable, respectful, and empowered relationship with your body. My intention is to support you in feeling vital, whole, strong, flexible, mobile, stable, and in harmony with your unique body.
Whether through Somos Luceros, ArcanaDance™, Embodied Movement Explorations, QiGong for Inner Balance & Harmony, or Somatic Dance-Yoga, I bring depth, compassion, playfulness, and joy to every experience. My guidance is simple and clear, inviting you to move in ways that honor your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual capacities—so that your movement aligns with your inner truth 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 – Somos Luceros is a somatic dance practice that invites you to illuminate the wisdom of your body and embody archetypal qualities that bring lightness, depth, and joy. Blending movement forms such as Nia, Shake Your Soul, ArcanaDance™, QiGong, Yoga-Dance, BrainDance, and more, each class explores a unique theme designed to deepen somatic awareness and nurture qualities like strength, compassion, resilience, freedom, and joy. This is a sacred space to release the stories your body has been holding and to reclaim the radiance within. In Spanish, Somos means “we are,” and Luceros means “bringers of light” or “bright stars.” The name honors my father, my South American Indigenous ancestry, and our oldest collective ancestors—the stars themselves. We are dancing bodies of light.
ArcanaDance™ – The tarot, embodied. If tarot cards could dance—this is what they’d look like. ArcanaDance™, created by me, is a fusion of tarot and movement that feels like dance therapy. “Arcana” means secret, and dance is movement to music. When woven together, ArcanaDance™ becomes a revelation—secrets of the self unveiled through movement. It’s tarot you don’t just read—you feel it, move it, and become it.
QiGong for Inner Balance & Harmony – A gentle, 30-minute class designed to calm the nervous system, release tension, and restore energetic balance through mindful movement, breath, and intention. Each session focuses on themes like stress relief, grounding, or emotional release, incorporating breathwork, warm-ups, stretches, and flowing movements to circulate Qi. Rooted in several classical QiGong lineages and teachers, the practice often explores the five elemental energies and their connection to the body’s organs. Set to soft music, these all-level classes offer a restorative pause for body, mind, and spirit.
Embodied Movement Explorations for Body Wisdom and Wellness – A fusion of somatic movement practices—including dance (Shake Your Soul, Nia), yoga, QiGong, archetypal expression (primarily through tarot), and other mindfulness-based modalities that support self-awareness and embodied insight. In this class, we center the lived experience of feeling, sensing, and moving in our bodies. Through intentional movement, we explore practices that foster deep self-knowing, joy, creative expression, and restoration from stress. We nourish the body’s systems—fluid, muscular, skeletal, organ, nervous, and cellular—while honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body, heart, and soul. Come move, connect, and rediscover your body’s innate wisdom and capacity for wellness.
Somatic Interludes – A somatic interlude is a pause—a space to tend to yourself with care and presence. It’s an invitation to take a break in community, free from pressure or expectation. You don’t have to be anything other than who you are in the moment. This is a gentle, supportive container to deepen your connection to yourself and the voice of your body. Together, we explore introductory somatic therapeutic practices that offer space for self-reflection, insight, resourcing, and rest—for the mind, heart, body, and spirit. Practices include journaling, simple drawing, guided movement, mindfulness, and nervous system-supportive breath and body sequences.
Coming Home to Ourselves Somatic Dance-Yoga Practice blends movement as metaphor with the expansive wisdom of yoga, guiding us into deeper embodiment—beyond the mat. Each class weaves together simple yoga postures in dance form, mindfulness prompts, various forms of meditation, mantra (in English and Sanskrit), and mudras, all rooted in the rich philosophy of yoga. This integrated practice invites you to explore the inner landscape of your being and cultivate deeper self-knowing through intentional, expressive movement.
Stretch and Fly Yoga Dance, 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 Somos Luceros: Dance of Breath, Fluidity & Resilience: An Embodied Exploration of the Metal, Water & Wood Elements
This class is a fusion of three dances we’ve explored together:
Autumn Breath Dancing Heart: An Embodied Moving Meditation with the Lungs, Inner Rivers Deep Seas: An Embodied Dance Exploration of the Water Element, and Dance of the Wood Snake: An Embodied Exploration of Patience, Resilience, and Wisdom.
Drawing from Four Seasons Medical QiGong and Five Element Theory from Chinese Medicine, we explore movement patterns that nourish the Metal element (lungs and breath), the Water element (kidneys, fluidity, and the joints), and the Wood element (liver, tendons, and spiraling movement inspired by the Wood Snake).
Throughout the class we explore breath, spirals, and the natural pulse of squeeze and release that lives within healthy tissue and movement.
Our guided movement sequences will gradually open into expressive movement, helping circulate energy, release tension, and awaken the body’s natural rhythms. These patterns support the coming of the season of spring, which arrives next week 🙂
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.

Join me for QiGong for Inner Balance & Harmony: Flowing From Metal & Water to Nourish Wood
This half-hour QiGong practice centers the spine as a source of support, resilience, and energetic flow. We’ll gently strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine while inviting mobility, circulation, and spaciousness through the back body and core.
Through slow, intentional movements and breath-led sequences, we tend to the vertebral column as an integrated whole—cultivating stability without rigidity and flexibility without collapse. This session helps establish the conditions for responsive, fluid spinal movement and embodied support.
Soft music plays in the background to support a soothing atmosphere. These classes are suitable for all levels and offer a nourishing pause to reset your body, mind, and spirit.
The movement sequences are drawn from several respected QiGong lineages, including teachings from Dr. Robert Woodbine, Lee Holden, Daisy Lee, Marisa Cranfill, and Mimi Kuo-Deemer.
Class is 30 minutes long.

Spring Rising: A Wood Element QiGong & Yoga Dance Workshop (In-person at Carrboro Yoga)
Date: Saturday March 21, 2026
Time: 6:00PM – 7:30PM EST
Location: Carrboro Yoga Company, 101 Two Hills Dr Unit 150, Carrboro, NC 27510

Enter the season of rebirth and new growth—springtime—through this nourishing fusion of QiGong, yoga, and embodied dance. Guided by the wisdom of the Wood element—associated with the liver and gallbladder, tendons and ligaments, the nervous system, and our capacity for vision and direction—we’ll explore how movement can support renewal, flexibility, and creative flow.
Together we’ll gently awaken the abdominal region and side body, sensing and strengthening the pathways of upward growth. Through QiGong we’ll cultivate steadiness and circulation; through yoga we’ll listen deeply to sensation and alignment; and through dance we’ll invite expression, imagination, and play.
This practice emphasizes vision and creativity, spiraling movement, resilience and elasticity, and the dynamic balance between grounding and expansion. We’ll move like trees—firmly rooted in the earth, yet reaching skyward—feeling into what it means to grow without forcing, to rise without losing connection to the ground beneath us.
From this rooted, upward-rising place, we’ll spiral into expressive movement, where yoga’s mindful listening meets dance’s boundless storytelling. Simple, accessible prompts invite you to move in community while also journeying inward—discovering the alchemy of breath, rhythm, and sensation that awakens joy, creativity, and authentic self-expression.
Together we’ll honor the turning of the season: the return of light, the stirring of new possibilities, and the courage it takes to follow one’s inner vision. This workshop offers space to reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence and to remember how movement can be both medicine and celebration.
