In this week's episode, we're talking with Lily Shepard about using dance to feel empowered and connect with pleasure. Lily is a dancer, personal coach, sensual embodiment specialist and creator of the S.A.S.S. Method. In this chat she breaks down her history as a dancer, how she morphed into a sensual embodiment practitioner, stigmas around pleasure in communities of color, body positivity, setting boundaries, using dance as a self turn-on tool and the difference between shadow work and shadow integration.Lily also shares about why she feels pleasure is the pathway to power and how she makes it a foundation in her life. We also discuss self-love vs. self-acceptance and why she feels one isn't possible without the other.Dance along with Lily no matter where you are through her BRAND NEW offering, Lily's Movement Playground.
