Hello Reader, Your body is absolutely extraordinary. Can you feel it? It carries you through everything. Through sinking grief. Through expansive joy. Through unsettling uncertainty. Through anchoring love. Through the ambling mundane tasks of a Tuesday morning. The depths and the stillness that punctuate your aliveness. It’s all experienced through the body. But sometimes in the rhythm of daily life, we lose this connection to feeling our way through. The aliveness gets a little muted. We move, we do, we think, but we stop noticing how life truly flows through us. The kaleidoscope of who we are narrows down to the few colors that daily routine requires of us. Movement and deep rest is one of the most profound ways I know to access that authentic current again. You can call it widening your window of tolerance. Or building the capacity to feel the full range of your experience without being swept away by it. I call it coming home. On Sunday 12 April we’ll be dancing to remember all the facets of ourselves that get dull and dusty in the wake of routine. The playful, the soulful and the gloriously silly. From the comfort of you own home and with your camera off, come ready to remember the full kaleidoscope of who you are. I'd love for you to join me. It's free, it's online, and all you need to bring is yourself. If you can't make it live, the recording will be available for 7 days after to dance in your own time.
See you on the dance floor soon 🤍 Much love, Liezl |

To experiencing an inner spring and budding. And now, getting ready to travel to bid farewell to a dear friend in his last weeks of palliative...
Hello Reader, You might know me mostly as a yoga teacher (or maybe you are getting to know me now). I love that practice deeply, 23 years in and it still teaches me something everyday. My love for yoga was always multi-faceted, but part of it was the exploration of self-mastery through discipline and focus of the mind cultivated from the body up. Raja yoga suited that. But then after my daughter was born, I needed something more primal. A container that could hold both my sacred expression...
Hello Reader, On Sunday I guided my first in-person soma ceremony here in Swakop. Over three hours we shared cacao, a conscious dance journey and yin yoga before settling deeply into stillness with yoga nidra. I had a very simple intention for the ceremony. Offer a space where everyone felt safe enough to hear the story that their body has to tell. Hearing what everyone had to share in our closing circle, still has my heart beating warm gratitude. Each story shared threads with the others,...
