Shake the Dust
A transformative movement practice for the body, heart, mind & nervous system
What is Shake the Dust?
Shake the Dust is more than just a workout
(I prefer to think of it as a work-in)
Shake the Dust is a transformative, embodied movement practice of the body, heart, mind and nervous system. Guided by a unique soundtrack (changes each week), we move through shaking, jumping, dancing, resting, and flow, with elements of yoga, Pilates, somatics, and cardio.
This is movement as statement.
A space to sweat, release, and build resilience.
Open to all, Shake the Dust invites you to take up space, break patterns, and come alive.
Through rhythmic repetition and bursts of expressive motion, you’ll move, sweat, and discover what’s ready to rise and release.
Each session is an opportunity to
Build a resillient nervous system
Transform emotions & release stress
Shift anything that feels 'stuck'
Ready to move, feel, and release?

Shake the Dust
How does it work?
Shake the Dust is mat-based and music-driven. We repeat one move per song to create sensation in the body and observe our thoughts. We use sound to release energy (if you wish) and the breath to bring awareness to feelings and sensations.
The result is a stronger body, calmer mind, and a more liberated and joyous existence!
Shake the Dust is…
A movement practice set to a banging soundscape.
A mix of freedom, dance, and containers like shaking, tapping, jumping jacks.
A counter-narrative to polished, performative movement.
A space to let your body be messy, chaotic, real.
A way to build nervous system resilience through practice.
Not about looking good. Not about holding it together. About being alive.
This is for you if…
You crave a practice that’s raw, messy, alive.
You want movement that’s more than “just feeling good.”
You’re ready to meet the chaos, the collapse, the injustice - in your body.
You want resilience, not perfection.
You’re open to shaking, tapping, sweating, dancing, releasing.
You know sometimes healing sounds like a full-bodied fuuuuuck!
