Cuerpro Libre: Fall into Freedom
Our Fall Gathering was pure magic! A soulful evening where we moved with our ancestors to release, heal, and rise through the power of yoga and Bomba. Surrounded by community, rhythm, and intention, we honored our roots, freed our bodies, and reconnected with the energy that carries us forward. This was more than a class it was a spiritual homecoming. ✨💃🏽🕯️
Cuerpro Libre: Dance, Flow & Heal
Our Transformative Gathering at Lake Michigan was nothing short of powerful. A sunrise experience filled with movement, sound healing, and yoga that reawakened the body and spirit. With the waves as our soundtrack and the wind as our guide, we released what no longer served us and welcomed deep peace, connection, and liberation. The lake held our intentions and we left renewed. 🌊✨🧘🏽♀️
