In my all-female, sensation-oriented somatic and embodied movement class in Pasadena, we move in a way that honors the pace your body truly needs. We settle in slowly. We land. We breathe. We let the nervous system exhale. And only when your body feels ready, movement begins — gentle, intuitive, sensation-led. In a world that pushes us fast, this practice brings you back into the subtle messages your body has been trying to send you all along: the impulses, the sensations, the emotions, the truths that live under the noise. You don’t have to look a certain way. You don’t have to move “perfectly.” You don’t have to be in rhythm. You don’t have to be elegant or graceful. You simply get to follow what your body wants — that’s the whole point. Some women move softly on the floor. Some sway, stretch, and unwind. Some find bigger expression. Every version is welcome. Movement becomes a way to reconnect with your emotional landscape, your inner world, your memories, your breath, and your truth. If you have questions, you can always DM me — I love helping women find their way back to themselves. ⸻ 🌸 About Me ✨ Hi, I’m Leslie Field — Somatic Practitioner of Embodied Movement ✨ Helping you get out of your head and into your body ✨ Join my newsletter or a class: www.LeslieAField.com ⸻ Teaching & Methodology Credit With deep gratitude to Erin Pace, creator of Sacred Embodiment and founder of The Responsive Body Practice, whose work profoundly shapes the way I guide this movement space. #somaticmovement #embodiedmovement #womenswellness #selfhealingjourney #mindbodyhealth #movementmedicine #pasadenaevents #womenscircle

Dear women of LA 🌴 Are you craving a space where you can finally exhale, land in your body, and tune in to what’s really going on beneath the surface? I’m inviting you to Sacred Embodiment, a somatic dance class for women in Pasadena — a dimly lit studio where you get to move with eyes closed, breathe, feel, and let your body lead for a change. Think: moving meditation + intuitive dance + stretching, opening & freeing the body. This is a space where all of you is welcome — the stress, the irritation, the grief, the joy, the tenderness, the not-having-it-all-together. Tears are welcome. Laughter is welcome. You are welcome. 📍 In-person in Pasadena, CA 🕑 This Saturday, November 8 | 2:15–3:45 pm 🏡 Athletic Garage Dance Studio If you’re a busy mom / caregiver / over-giver who’s always tending to everyone else, this class is your invitation to tend to you — your nervous system, your emotions, your body, your heart. I’ll drop the Eventbrite link in the comments. If you have questions, leave a comment or send me a DM — I’m happy to chat. 💌 🌸 Hi, I’m Leslie Field Somatic Practitioner of Embodied Movement ✨ I help you get out of your head and into your body 🌿 Join my newsletter or a class: www.leslieafield.com Teaching & methodology credit: Erin Pace of the Responsive Body Practice — my mentor, teacher & friend, and creator of the Sacred Embodiment movement practice. @erin.pace #somatichealing #somaticmovement #embodiedmovement #losangeles #pasadenamoms embodiedmovement losangeleswomen

This body of yours is magnificent. It’s miraculous. It’s the vessel that will carry you through every chapter of your life. So many women have lost touch with their bodies—through wounding, trauma, neglect, or simply from tending to everyone else first. But there is a way back. Embodiment is about feeling the full aliveness of your physical body. It’s how we reclaim the ability to feel our beauty, our pleasure, our turn-on, and our deep vitality. When you begin to fall in love with your body—not just how it looks, but how it feels, moves, and breathes—you open the door to self-trust, safety, and joy. Sometimes it starts with something as simple as a breath. A mindful moment. A slow gesture. A willingness to feel what’s here, now. That’s where I come in. I guide Embodied Movement—a gentle, therapeutic practice that helps you reconnect with your body in a safe, loving way so you can rediscover your pleasure, sensuality, and sense of home within yourself. ✨ Hi, I’m Leslie Field 🌸 Somatic Practitioner of Embodied Movement Helping you get out of your head and into your body 💫 Join my newsletter or a class → www.leslieafield.com 🕊️ Teaching & Methodology Credit: Erin Pace, creator of the Responsive Body Practice Erin Eagan Pace #somatichealing #womenswellness #mindbodyhealth #healingjourney #stressrelief #selfhealing #emotionalwellbeing #womensupportingwomen

✨ PART 1 — Why Embodied Movement & Somatic Work Is a Form of Health Care Today I’m sharing something personal. A dear family member was recently diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer — and by the time anyone understood what was going on, the tumors had already spread throughout her body. Some in my family wondered, “How could this not have been caught sooner?” But the truth is… it’s not surprising. We live in a culture that prioritizes the thinking mind above everything else — productivity, hustle, intellect, achievement. Our energy lives in our head all day long. Meanwhile, the body’s messages — subtle changes, intuition, whispers, discomfort, emotional weight — often get dismissed as: “I’m just tired.” “I haven’t been sleeping well.” “I’m stressed, it’s nothing.” “I’m getting older.” “I’ve been eating badly.” We rationalize the signals away. Somatic work and embodied movement give us something different: a loving, compassionate relationship with the body where we actually slow down, listen, and learn to understand ourselves from the inside out. Over time, the body becomes less mysterious. You become more attuned, more sensitive (in the best way), more able to notice when something’s off — physically, emotionally, energetically. You develop inner “specificity,” a kind of intimate literacy with your own system. And I share this not as someone who sits above this work, but as someone who has been both deeply disconnected from my body and a fierce champion of reconnecting to it. Living with chronic illness for over two decades — leading up to my kidney transplant — taught me that the body houses truth: your emotions your nervous system your pain your vitality your intuition your spirit All of it. This is Part 1 of why I believe embodied movement is a form of health care. Part 2 is coming next. ⸻ 🌸 Hi, I’m Leslie Field Somatic Practitioner of Embodied Movement 💛 Helping you get out of your head and into your body 🌿 Join a class or sign up for my newsletter at www.leslieafield.com #SomaticPractice #EmbodiedMovement #MindBodyConnection #HolisticHealth #ChronicIllnessJourney #CancerAwareness #TraumaHealing #NervousSystemRegulation
