Stomach Alive Somatic Series
This 10-class somatic series is your invitation to rebuild the relationship with your core—through breath, movement, and presence.
Each lesson is designed to connect you to your center, spine, and inner rhythm. You'll move through supported shapes, breath-led sequences, and subtle strength practices that restore digestive fire, regulate your nervous system, and ground you in clarity from the inside out.
Come as you are.
The body already knows the way.
-
-
The sequence moves through spirals, waves of the spine, and resting shapes that restore natural rhythm in the core. Breath and movement combine to mobilize the diaphragm, release stagnation, and support flow through the whole system.
-
This opening lecture sets the tone for the Stomach Alive series. It’s an invitation to return to the pulse beneath your thinking—to the deep rhythm that governs digestion, intuition, and emotional clarity.
-
-
-
This class awakens the deep abdominal wall and pelvic rhythm through breath-led motion. We spiral, compress, extend, and rest—letting the belly remember its fluid power and primal strength.
-
This second lecture builds on the foundation of earth, guiding you into the interplay between fire—the spark of the nervous system and digestive flame—and water—the tides of the endocrine system that nourish, replenish, and carry messages.
-
Activate your core, clear mental fog, and ignite your inner vitality with this guided Breath of Fire tutorial. Rooted in yogic tradition and designed to build heat, clarity, and confidence, Breath of Fire is both energizing and cleansing—perfect for mornings, moments of low energy, or before deep work.

-
Spinal undulation meets breath-led rhythm. This practice restores fascial hydration, awakens the gut-brain axis, and builds subtle strength through repetition. Each wave reclaims fluidity in the spine and coherence in the nervous system.
-
Explore the spine as both structure and current. We’ll trace its anatomical segments and subtle channels, weaving Apana Vayu with movement to restore rhythm, release stagnation, and remind the body of its oceanic intelligence.
-
-
-
An all-standing class that awakens the upward current of breath and spine. Through kriyas, rhythmic repetition, and subtle bandhas, you’ll build vertical awareness—grounding through the feet, rising through the crown, and radiating presence.
-
This lecture unpacks Udana Vayu—the energy of speech, ascension, and clarity. With the five diaphragms and three bandhas as guides, we learn how subtle locks stabilize the nervous system and ignite the body as an oracle of resilience.
-
-
-
Refine deep core awareness through slow spinal undulations, oblique engagement, and belly-down sequencing. Precision, not force, becomes the teacher—building longevity, subtle power, and a centered presence.
-
The core is more than muscle—it’s layered intelligence. This lecture explores the koshas, Pilates principles, and Vyana Vayu, demonstrating how breath and precision interweave stability across the body, mind, and energy.
-
-
-
Gentle, breath-led shapes retrain the belly-brain connection. With supported bridge, abdominal massage, and subtle core resets, you’ll release tension and reclaim stability from within.
-
Earth and Ether meet in stillness. This lecture explores digestion as physical and emotional processing, drawing from Ayurveda, TCM, and Polyvagal Theory to show how “doing less” reveals the soul’s intelligence.
-
-
-
Air and Ether invite clarity. This lecture traces the spiral between Manipura and Anahata, linking serotonin, digestion, and nervous system rhythm to identity and expression. Clearing the spiral becomes clearing the self.
-
Through rhythmic spirals, grounding squats, and breath-led movement, we awaken the pelvic floor—not as a place to hold tension, but as a living diaphragm of support and sensation.
-
The pelvis as pulse: where fire burns clean and air moves freely. We explore breath, bandha, Sat Nam mantra, and the five systems of gut rhythm—showing how the body becomes its own conductor of coherence.
-
From Prana Shakti Kriya to breath-coordinated supine sequences, this class refines core intelligence as rhythm, not strain. Precision and pulse align breath, spine, and subtle strength.
-
All five elements converge here. With mudra, bandha, spinal undulation, and the Ong So Hung mantra, we awaken the core current as both a physiological rhythm and a creative intelligence.
-
-
Through breath-led awareness, cross-patterned movement, and deep rhythmic stillness, we create space for the body to recalibrate. This is not a push—it’s a quiet realignment of hemispheres, a settling of the spine, gut, and brain into rhythm.
-
This tenth lecture gathers the whole journey into balance—the union of opposites through breath, core, and subtle awareness. The practices weave polarity—Ida and Pingala, left and right hemispheres, solar and lunar—into harmony along the central channel.
