You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

"I love your classes, and this exploration of asymmetry and spiraling helps me so much! Why is this so new and radical when it makes so much sense??" ~Jenny Raine
The way we move is how we move through life.
We are the only animal that can chose how to move. ~ Dylan Newcombe

Ancient teachings + modern science
Bottom-up rather than top-down embodied practice
Bio-motional architecture shaping itself through movement
Variety & uniqueness within principles of Nature
Optimal organic movement for injury resilience
​
Belonging & purpose
Self-study as deep self-care
Flow states & yoga as a state of being
Values of curiosity, play & creating options over perfection in embodied practice
Decolonization & agency from within, rather than supremacy from without
​
...through embodied practice, so that we can impact the greatest positive change in the world.
Presented by Michelle Bouvier
Michelle has a lifetime of embodied practice, decades of training teachers & guiding yoga & interdisciplinary movement from a deep, ongoing fascination & study of cutting-edge science of our bodymind. Michelle is committed to sharing the latest evidence-based, cross-disciplinary understandings of the incredible power of embodied practice -as a tool of living yoga- to support our lives in a rapidly transforming world.

Michelle is the director of the Kutilaa School of Embodied Resilience & Living Yoga.
Intelligence is present everywhere in our bodies . . . our own inner intelligence is far superior to any we can try to substitute from the outside.
~ Deepak Chopra
Embodiment is our superpower.
​
Embodied practices have exploded in popularity in the past decades, and for good reason.
Mindful movement, breath and awareness to the present moment sensation and flow are how we're wired to balance the whole of what it means to be human.
​
Embodied practices lead us to ourselves, forging the pathways of connection between body-mind-heart-values-voice and living our purpose. Though not the only way, they may be the most accessible and effective, impacting every other element of our experience of life.
​
​
Trouble is, far too many methods of embodied practice are not truly aligned... are yours?
How do you know?
​
Join ALIGN to investigate where we can learn, grow and improve alignment with our own body, mind, soul.
​
Join ALIGN to explore how we can use embodied practices to better align with Nature, belonging to each other, and the changes the world needs right now.
​
Much more of the brain is devoted to movement than to language.
Language is only a little thing sitting on top of this huge ocean of movement.
~ Oliver Sacks
A note from Michelle...
After a complex and challenging journey through body breakdown...
I learned (the hard way!) how precious it is to reclaim embodied practice with deepened understanding of bodymind science, humble reverence to ancient teachings & renewed childlike wonder.
​
Embodied practices align us daily with our authentic self, infusing purpose, strength and awareness into our days.
​
Embodied practices connect us to our inner wisdom and vital energy. It's how we renew our grasp on our lives, our health, and our future.
​
Embodied practices and living yoga have saved me more times than you can imagine.
Movement is medicine for the body, mind & soul.
The potency of mindful embodied practice has the power to change the world.
​
If you’re here you get it.
I can't wait to share a life-changing exploration of how we ALIGN through embodied practice at this event.
​
We're all in this together.
​
See you there!
