Welcome to Fall 2015!
My ‘fall’ began the last day of August.
I literally hit the floor running Monday morning August 31st. I returned from 10 days of Dance Camp NorthWest super excited and inspired. And where I’ve landed is on my 2 feet as a Teacher. I am humbled to feel the earth below me hold me as I stretch my reach to teach what I want to learn, be the change I desire to experience, and create the world I want to live in!
So here’s what’s up. YOU can jump in, share, participate. YOU are welcome here.
I’m teaching in 2 realms:
BODY LOVE SESSIONS and MOVEMENT AS MEDICINE
BODY LOVE SESSIONS begin September 22nd.
They are personalized sessions that you schedule by calling me at 512-925-0625. As one partcipant described so well….
I actually love my body now and I’m able to be with it in a way
I’ve never been able to in my life.
Our elevators at work are full
length mirrors. Every day I would stand in the elevator and
critique all the flaws that were my body. I never saw anything
good about it!!! Now I’m able to look at myself and actually love
and approve of what I see!!! It feels SO GOOD!!!! Another thing
I’ve gotten is to stop worrying about what others think of my
body. This was huge for me all my life! I just don’t have any
attention on that any more.
I just created a new blog site for BodyLove Sessions. Please visit and ‘share’ my page with your friends and contacts. Thank you.

The Medicine is Presence.
What happens when we are present?
Perfection. Acceptance. Healing and Foregiveness
All happen when we are present.
We belong in our bodies.
We move toward pleasure. We move forward to the yes;
Rather than move away from the past or escape the future.
A dear friend of mine who was dying of cancer said to me
“Carola, I thought I was afraid of dying. Now I know I was afraid of living.”
Come as you are.
Move as you wish.
We begin with
-a 10 minute GUIDED warm-up to gently get present
-an Opening Circle to set the intention
-fall into a Deep Dive 50 minute Dance Journey
-ending with a Closing Circle
