Femme Hip Hop on Thursdays @streetsidedance

As women,
We are given a million reasons not to be in our bodies
Learning to dance, while staying connected to ourselves
Is one of our most powerful ways back home

That’s what I’m teaching. How to dance and express like YOU. 🔥

Big things are happening at Streetside Studio in Boulder. I’m teaching Femme Hip Hop, Thursdays at 6:15. 👑

I used to always want to move fast. Show you I can do the most.
Moving slow is almost harder. It means you can really be seen.
So many of us shrink when we’re in the spotlight.
But there is the woman who owns her space, doesn’t rush, doesn’t shrink, takes her time. To me that’s a queen.
That’s presence.
Being confident while being seen is a skill we can grow.
I’m growing. Come join me. 💜

This is my first attempt at telling my story of the spiritual transformation I have been walking through over the last year. Especially for those who have loved me for a long time, and confused about how/ why I am now showing up online.

It’s the truth of what I have walked through, and why it feels so close to my heart to share what I know, even when it’s messy.

It’s 10 mins. I hold no expectation that you will watch any or all of it. If you do, let me know what resonates with your journey.

The more comfortable I feel listening to myself
being myself
sharing myself
the more I feel like I’m aging backwards. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone else obsessed with the movie Honey as a kid?

I believe staying connected to our hearts and our dreams is SUCH a brave choice.

Being perceived as “serious” and “together” protects us from criticism…but it doesn’t make us happier, or more connected.

On this path of becoming,

There are days we will succumb to our cynicism and fear. We will lead with our defenses.

Yet we can always choose to let them down a bit, shine our light, and share our magic. ✨

I believe in me. I believe in you. I believe in us. 💜

Becoming a @schwarzmanscholars at 22 changed my life. A year in China filled with wildly talented friends and once in a lifetime opportunities.

Being back in Beijing to facilitate leading lives for orientation, 10 years later, was like getting to hangout with my 22 year old self for the week. I got to let her know that I had her, that we would become a woman she could be proud of. That being myself was always more than enough. ❤️

To guide the next generation of scholars with hard earned wisdom and an authentic grounding within myself, healed a part of me. The 22 year old who was SO sure she needed to have it all figured it out, and when she didn’t pretended to. Maybe that’s the classic wisdom of growing old? The recognition that if we’re lucky it’s never “figured out”, its always a becoming. We’re just growing our capacity for presence on the ride.

The dreams and optimism of this cohort, of my co-facilitators, reminded me to dream bigger, play full out, and laugh more. Forever grateful to be part of this community of dreamers, bridge-builders, and nerds. ❤️🤓 by @izzyscher

Our bodies are our homes
The source of our intuition
Our love
Our aliveness

I thought I needed to control my body to be loved. Police her with self-criticism, override her knowing around certain people, get myself to perform. Overwork, overfunction, overplease.

If my body was unmonitored...who knows where that would lead me. I was certain with my body left to its own devices I would be alone, unloveable. My body was not a safe place to live...and so I kept running. Controlling.

I literally didn't know I could live my life day to day with a felt sense of safety, and ease. I didn't know that was in reach, as much as my heart craved it.

To slow down to feel our lives, its where all the magic lives.

To honor our bodies, honors the sacredness of who we are. All of who we are. Our desires. Our hearts. Our wisdom.

I had a spiritual experience last year where I discovered for the first time, that I could move energy through my body. That I could change my energetic state through movement, and I knew this would become my work in the world. Bringing us back to our bodies. Growing our capacity to FEEL.

To move at our own pace. To express from a place of authenticity. To connect to ourselves, our divinity.

If you're in #boulder or #denver and craving the tools to source, protect, and nourish your own energy, come. I would love to have you. 💚

Opening our hearts is scary
But the alternative is chronic stress and numbness
Numbing our pain and stunting our growth
Living in fear and tension
So we must grow our capacity to soften to life
To trust
To feel
To be with our tender heartbreak
Our opening to new love
Our perceived rejections
Our dreams

To know we can survive pain gives us the freedom to love
To live
To take risks

Our hearts are the magic of life. Treat yours gently. 💜

Sending love,
Izzy

5 years ago I experienced the biggest burnout of my life
Intense chronic illness
Painful sex
Brain fog
Crying before work
High anxiety and panic

I changed so much about my life in response
Quit my job, moved, ended relationships
The one thing that changed it all

Changing my relationship TO life
To myself
To understand as a feminine being that I am sacred, that my pleasure can be just for me
That my desires are worthy of having
That I am worthy of rest and receiving support

And the crazy thing is, all of that pleasure and rest and play my high performing brain said there was no time for, that my soul was desperately demanding, is the sustainable source of fuel I was missing to pursue MY dreams. My creativity. My true ambitions.

If you’re an ambitious woman stuck in chronic stress 3 things you can do today
1. Dance in your room by yourself, to exactly the music you like in the way you like to move
2. Go be in nature and receive her support, ask her for guidance. Open yourself to the feeling of it being safe to receive.
3. Call a dear friend and share what’s on your heart. Not to solve it, but to let them know you’re having a hard time, and be witnessed in your emotions. ❤️

All of this restores safety to the feminine, which is what’s needed to shift out of chronic stress.

You’re not alone. ❤️✨

You get to let everyone else live their own life
God has a beautiful life in store for you
It’s our job to listen
Reminding ourselves
It’s safe to dream
It’s safe to have doubt and do it anyways
It’s safe to want more
It’s safe to trust

Me on my soapbox: 🫧
We are taught to perform our femininity not to feel it
We are taught to control our bodies not to trust our intuition
We are taught that safety is acquired through partners, $, and status, not through an internal felt sense of safety when we are connected to our root, our hearts, and our spirit
We are taught that everyone else knows
We are taught our minds should be used to control our bodies

It’s a lie.
You’re already divine
Your body already knows
Your aliveness can be felt and tasted whenever you want
You just have to remember how to access it, and come back home to yourself again and again and again ✨

If you’ve been craving moving like this, tuned into your own essence — that’s what we do in Sensual Flow. 💜 Link in bio for the next one.

What if our lives are meant to be felt?
What if the human experience was to delight in our own divine magic?
Our own felt sense of being alive
Of being filled up and nourished
And safe
And loved
What if that was our birthright…

I think it is. ❤️

I think it’s worth choosing ourselves
Our magic
Our little kids
The people we really want to become
The earth

We are worth choosing. You are worth choosing.

If you want more magic in your life. DM me.
Follow along for embodiment content.
Come dance with me.
