Each of us carry A tremendous wisdom and worth within our body.
Shame is what keeps us from experiencing the love and transformation we deserve
White people and [Black, Indigenous] People of Color [(BIPOC)] each have work to do separately and together [with respect to addressing somatic healing and transforming ancestral trauma.]
We all carry ancestral wisdom and words that need to be felt, expressed and moved with.
Body temple DANCE IS A SOMATIC HEALING PRactice that includes guided movement, meditation, and opening to the Divine support that's just waiting for us to arrive.
Dance with it. Dance with us.
You don't need any previous dance experience for this practice.
This space is for you to explore, to sense, to feel. To feel whatever it is that's moving through you right now.
This is a practice to honor that, and we're here to support and celebrate you in all that you are. I hope to see you in this special class.
We are here for you spiritual and somatic questions and needs.
Come and experience somatic and ecstatic living through music, dance, and self-expression in this community-driven workshop!
Body Temple Dance was created by Adriana Rizzolo and her students whom she has witnessed move through the process of living disconnected into living in full expression.
It is informed by traditional Tantra and the mystical traditions from India, many years of Adriana’s studies in body awareness and transformational energy healing, Somatic Experiencing, and TRE.
BTD is loosely inspired by 5 Rhythms, Gaga, traditional Kundalini Shakti, Kashmir Shivaism, and many more healing and movement modalities.

“I see you, soulful one.
‘I’m just holding space,’ you say. As if you are not really ‘doing’ anything.
I see you, touching the shame, the pain, the fear. Digging the foundations of your loving presence deeper and wider.
I see you, willing to hold the world in your hands, not looking away from the darkness, not pretending to understand.
I see you, stretching beyond easy answers, the mind-shutting rights and wrongs.
I see you, transformation leader.
I see you stumbling on shaky legs after uprooting the old ways. Fumbling through the unknown to find a truer home.
I see your soul surfacing, sharing its tender wisdom in the space you’ve washed clear with your own tears.
I see your devotion to your own unfolding. The years of practice so you can just hold space
as a ballerina just dances, as a soprano just sings, as a maestro just plays.
I see you, embracing it all so you can just hold space for love.”
