A transformative 2-hour movement experience created to remind you what it feels like to truly listen to your body. An experience curated to activate all five senses, awakening your essence, and bring you home to yourself through movement.
We live in a world that rewards doing over being, thinking over sensing, performing over feeling. The result? Women disconnected from their bodies, their essence, their power.
Sensual Awakening is a guided movement experience that creates a safe, sacred container for women to slow down, drop in, and remember who they truly are... through breath, sensation, rhythm, and dance.
This isn't a fitness class. It isn't a dance class. It isn't a performance. It's a homecoming.
"My mission is to help women listen to the whispers of their body and remember the power they've always held within."
Every session moves through a curated arc. Together we flow from stillness to sensation to full embodied expression.
We open the space with roses, cacao, breath, touch, and smell. Somatic tools for slowing the nervous system and arriving fully in the body.
A deep, unhurried warm-up that begins at the root — hips, pelvis, core — paired with stretching, awakening, listening to what the body craves.
Across-the-floor movement where each woman walks in the energy she just generated. Fast or slow, deep or soft — always in her own truth and pace. Heels optional.
A slow, sultry closing sequence set to R&B, Jazz and soulful music. A choreography designed to remind participants to play, to feel, to be witnessed. Laughter, tears, joy — all are welcome. All celebrated.
Women leave feeling more alive, more grounded, and more themselves. That's the kind of offering that creates loyal community.
Tikisha handles everything — the music, tools, pacing, and holding the space. You simply provide your community and the room.
This is accessible to every level of dancing. No background required — only an open heart and open mind needed.
Sensual Awakening creates connection, conversation and deepens communities. Women bond in this space — and they love to come back.
Sensual Awakening is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing community spaces and events — bringing something genuinely new to your audience.
Tikisha Nelson is a professional dancer who broke out of the rigid mold of technical training to explore something far more alive within her — the intelligence of the body itself. The freedom and space she allowed herself to feel her body led her to life changing transformations in her personal and professional life. Her work draws from years of movement practice combined with a deep commitment to create spaces where her students feel safe enough to be fully, unapologetically themselves.
She has hosted Sensual Awakening amongst many communities and spaces — where every class fills with people who leave transformed, tearful, laughing, and hungry for more connection with themselves and their communities.
"I feel like landing in your class has opened the remembrance of my desire and the importance of needing to be seen. Decades of needs not being met, femininity not acknowledged, and so many years not loving myself. I feel like this is the beginning of something huge."
"Your class will always stay as one of the main highlights of my healing and becoming journey."
