Movement Alchemy

About this Module:

Join Devon Sweeney, E-RYT 500, and Drake Unruh for a 20-hour immersion exploring the transformative power of embodiment through yoga, somatics, and movement alchemy.

 

This training will deepen your understanding of embodiment as a tool for sensing when you’re in the right place—within yourself and in relationship to others. Teachers and practitioners will learn to recognize and respond to different states of the nervous system, cultivating the skills to support regulation and connection in themselves, their loved ones, and their students.

 

Through the lens of movement alchemy, we’ll explore practices that help balance energy, shift emotional patterns, and awaken our innate capacity for self-support. Rooted in somatic principles and the wisdom of yoga and Tantra, this training emphasizes safety, connection, and the power of embodied self-awareness—spanning from the physical to the subtle body.

 

This one-of-a-kind module draws from Devon’s longtime apprenticeship with Shiva Rea (since 2008), her studies in Shaiva Tantra and religion, and over a decade of experience as a bodywork therapist. Drake will offer and lead multiple TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) sessions throughout the training.
