Therapeutic twerking? Somatic practices for menstrual pain, emotional release + pleasure with Abigail Morrissey

What if relieving menstrual pain or releasing stuck emotions in our wombspace could be fun, engaging, and... include twerking? It can!To be honest, I've tried twerking in the past and maybe it's because I've compared myself to others but I just figured I was bad at it, and it wasn't for me.Today's guest, Twerk Temple teacher Abigail Morrissey, laid it all out in a way that actually felt approachable for me. I didn't know that there are 5 separate movements that can be included in twerking, and some of them are easier or more natural for some of us.She also guided some really simple steps to get started, and encouraged just 2 minutes a day of the "booty pop" which is like, so possible for most of us.But before we got into twerking, we talked about her healing journey which I think will be very relatable and inspiring to listen to. From being a hospital nurse to experiencing an injury that catalyzed her to re-assess her life to getting off hormonal birth control to cycle synching and becoming more integrative in her approaches... And then a huge life upheaval which led to her finding twerking and experiencing near total relief of her menstrual pain symptoms...And her deep trust in the unfolding of her life.There is so much here.
