When you remember yourself you remember your ancestors. You remember their stories. The people that loved them. When you remember your ancestors you know who you are. To know who you are is a gift to the next generation so they can remember you, those that loved you, your stories and your ancestors. Their stories and the people that loved them are worth remembering. You are worth remembering. This is the process of remembering.

Take a deep breath with me. Honor yourself and your body. There is a lot going on right now. Make sure you move that energy in your body. I promise shaking it out, stretching it out, dancing it out and moving it out will help. 🤞🏽
Take one more deep breath with me before you go.

A lot of my life’s work is based on this… Remembering who I am.

It started with a story a great sister friend once told me.. “A wise Indigenous Elder once said before we are born we know who our Creator is, where we come from, and who we are. Once we are born into this life we forget all of that. Our entire process of life is remembering who our Creator is, where we come from and who we are.”

This story changed my entire life. I hope it helps you realize that the only true way to live is to be who you are. We must remember who we are even when it may feel like there is no space for it. To be your true self is a radical act. Take up space! You deserve to be here! Remember your power and medicine.

Remember who you are. ✨

No matter how small or how big, moving energy out the body is essential for your healing.

With everything going on, make sure to move your body and move the energy. Stretch, shake, wiggle, swing. It doesn’t matter just move your body and set an intention behind it.

Your body is your safe place. YOU are your safe place. Movement is medicine ✨

YOU ARE THE SOLUTION.
YOU ARE THE PRAYER.
YOU ARE THE ALTER.
YOU ARE THE OFFERING.
YOU ARE THE MEDICINE.

Deep breath in… Deep sigh exhale out…
Shake it out.

It is YOU. 🌬️

🌬️Movement Meditation Practice 🌬️

Getting back into your body, lowering your cortisol levels and moving with intention can be difficult when your mind gets in the way. Movement can look like SO many things down to a cellular level. Just feeling how your bodily functions move within your body. Movement can be as small or as big as you need but the important thing is to move the body. Move the energy. Move with intention.

We can see the benefits of movement down to a cellular level and when used as medicine you’re able to heal so much that the body is holding.

Have you moved your body today? Set aside one minute to move your body with intention and watch what happens.

Movement is medicine. You are the medicine. ✨ Just keep moving. 🫂 You got this. 🤞🏽

Move Well’s first class with @sjplosangeles was absolutely amazing! I was able to do our signature class, the Ancestral Healing Movement Meditation. We dove deep and this was the message that came through in our end of class debrief.
Remember who you are. Remember your power. Remember your medicine. Your power resides in your resilience and in that resilience you’ll find your medicine. Movement is medicine. YOU are medicine. Doing this work is not easy and it also has so many benefits to you life. I am so grateful that I got to share this experience with all of you!

Move Well’s signature class is our Ancestral Healing Movement Meditation 🌬️

This experience encourages participants to connect to themselves and their ancestors on a deeper level to heal past trauma and embrace resilience. We’ll explore personal and ancestral healing through various scales of movement, aiming to release outdated energies and thoughts. Utilizing epigenetics and your ancestral history to explore our movement, we will process and release trauma that is trapped inside the body.

This is one of many Movement Meditations created by Move Well that you can bring to your team or community!

Meet the Creator of Move Well.

Move Well started with the vision Alexis had to not just create another dance class, but more of a movement experience that can be felt on a cellular level. She became obsessed with mental health, self growth and healing as she began to learn the benefits of movement down to the science level. As Saenz learned about Epigenetics, she began to wonder how to incorporate this into her dancing with intention. In 2019, she taught her first Ancestral Healing Movement Meditation class at the University of Michigan to the School of Dance, during her residency and that’s where it all began. Alexis decided from then on, she wanted to move with intention and provide this to more groups as she’s seen the benefits first hand and how it has affected people’s lives in a positive way.

More About Alexis

Alexis Saenz is a mixed raced woman originally from the Cheyenne, Ute territories, known as so called Denver, Colorado and resides in Tongva territory, known as so called Los Angeles, CA. Alexis graduated from California Institute of the Arts with her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Dance and Choreography. Saenz has worked heavily within the Non Profit and Activism sphere working and consulting for a number of non profits, mostly Indigenous led. When she’s not fighting for justice, you can catch her teaching dance and pilates and pursuing a career in the entertainment industry as a dancer, filmmaker and actress. She’s worked with artists such as Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, Kanye West and more. Alexis has been teaching multiple dance styles for 20 years and pilates for 10 years.

While Saenz has many passions, she has always been rooted in wellness & mental health. Thus started her vision of creating a wellness business, to bring all over the world, and to help folks get in tune with their bodies with intention. Alexis is very passionate about helping her community and people around the globe and hopes to continue this work to make the world a better place for us all.
