“A human being is… energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less.
A dance.”
Gabrielle Roth
Your Body Can Create Lasting Transformation
What is Ishtara?
Informed by decades of somatic research, this trauma-sensitive somatic practice uses movement to process emotions and transform patterns stored in the body. Rather than thinking about feelings, you experience them as energies and express them through moving meditation, helping you powerfully reconnect with your body’s wisdom, intuition, self-healing, and true desires. This proven embodiment method is for any body in any age, shape, and capacity.
