Brahmani
Embodied Dance
The body has an inner dialogue in movement that allows us to liberate the stories that bind us. We must listen.
Do you feel the call to release these stories that words cannot always express?
Where Somatics meets Expression
Brahmani
Embodied Dance
Brahmani Embodied Dance is a movement practice that allows you to explore the stories your body holds, beyond words. Through guided improvisation, mindful movement, and deep listening, you will discover a way to express, release, and transform emotions and patterns that may be stored in your body.
This practice is not about performance or choreography—it’s about reconnecting with your body's natural intelligence, moving beyond fear, and rediscovering the joy of free, authentic expression. Whether you seek emotional release, personal growth, or a deeper connection with yourself and others, this practice offers a safe and supportive space to explore movement as a gateway to healing and transformation.
Explore the wounds you are ready to heal.

MOVEMENT & EXPRESSION
Connection to ourselves & others
Brahmani Embodied Dance goes into what we experience in our bodies. It's about sensing and feeling. We are telling stories with our bodies all the time. On a cellular level we are holding all of our emotions, we are holding all of our thoughts and we have an opportunity to express and MOVE through them, move away from them, leave them behind....
It's movement through emotions and expressions. It can be a play of creativity. It can be an investigation into a traumatic sensation. It could be a non-verbal dialogue between two people. This is what I LOVE about it. The way we can connect to others in more freedom and still be individual, so that our expression in not just something of this self, but something of the collective - of the whole.

ORIGINS OF BRAHMANI SACRED DANCE
My Journey to Embodied Sacred Dance
I come from a world of dance and movement, and I've been teaching yoga for over 20 years. As I moved towards an embodied practice, I felt that there was something missing for me. I was looking for something to get that sense of unfolding a deeper story that went beyond 'good' or 'bad' and yoga poses seemed to not be able to do that for me.
I created Brahmani Embodied Dance through my work and understanding of some of the most wonderful conscious dance methodologies including Soul Motion, Open Floor and 5 Rhythms. What arose was my desire to bring the yoga word into this amazing healing methodology of improvisational movement.
TESTIMONIALS
What People Say
"Julie makes the space safe for everyone to explore themselves. The Sacred Dance teacher training has been amazing. The space to move intuitively and find your own unique expression was my definition of this training. For that to happen you need to create boundaries so that people feel safe to relax and explore their uniqueness. And Julie is a master of this."
Johanna Morlor - 2022
""This training gave me so much that it's hard to put into words. But as someone who has done 5 Rhythms, Open Floor and other forms of conscious dance, what really stood out for me was Julie's methodology. It gave a structure while giving complete freedom in the movement. This made it feel so safe and supportive while being able to dive into the process. I can't recommend it enough."

Hi, I'm Julie
A self-confessed nerd of the body and mind, I've spent a lifetime discovering different methodologies and lineages to arrive at the most important destination: Home. Back home in the body, mind and spirit.
Through an upbringing in a Vedantist household in Southern California, teaching dance and yoga for 18 years in the UK to running a yoga school in Goa, India for 12 years, I've experienced a heck of a lot. My work as a teacher, mentor and facilitator for yoga practitioners, people suffering from physical injury and emotional instability, I have lead groups and individuals through their shadows and into their light. The common factor in all demographics has been obvious: We all suffer from some kind of trauma and we all need help to move beyond it.
Rich with teachings from a multitude of mentors, guides and inspiring people my journey has been and continues to be a wild ride in the adventure of being human and my goal is to help others navigate the landscape of their own transformation.
