Mindful Movement Practice

Mindful Yoga Floor-Based (Michelle Cobbin)

Most of us spend a large majority of our workday seated and prioritizing our mind over our bodies. Join me for this mini embodiment practice where I provide you with options to move your body in a way that best supports you in the moment. It’s an open invitation to let your mind rest and an opportunity to more fully inhabit your body by making choices and attuning to your needs. This is a great practice to incorporate into the middle of your workday to help you refresh your energy or at the end of the workday to help you to relax and unwind.

This week, we're very fortunate to have a chat with a dear friend & former UYP client, Ethan Schaltegger. Meeting through the discipline of powerlifting, our paths have intertwined over the years thanks to the practice of mindfulness meditation. In this episode, we dive into the commonalities & differences between a moving and seated mindfulness practice, the powerful, foundational life skills powerlifting and meditation can give you, the importance of an examined & fully embodied life for seeing clearly & making meaningful moves, and leaning into trusting your intuition to surrender to the light of the universe, your life purpose, and desires.

Activating Happiness in Midlife - Wellness Retreat in Costa Rica

El cuerpo no solo se mueve. El cuerpo habla.

Esta obra nace como un rezo, un susurro de la piel,
un acto de escucha sagrada hacia todo lo que sentimos y callamos.

Un viaje sonoro para ceremonias, círculos de hombres, momentos íntimos…
donde la palabra se convierte en medicina y el cuerpo, en altar.

For women in midlife especially in perimenopause neither of those approaches alone is enough.
In fact, they can actually make you feel worse.

What we actually need is a balanced approach that honors our changing bodies, busy lives, and deep desire for both vitality and peace.
That’s where the three pillars I teach in Wise Woman Reset come in: Strength, Stillness & Support.

What Women in Perimenopause Actually Need: Strength, Stillness & Support

Turn inwards. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. The way back home to yourself is within. Let the music move you back to your primal roots. To your true, unfiltered, authentic essence.

Celebrate the beauty of the human experience in all its tragic magnificence. Dance yourself back to the core of yourself, where there is no beginning and no end.

Hope you enjoy,

Love,

Sam

I found ecstatic dance back around July 2023, at a time approaching huge loss and transition in my life, when my marriage of 6 years was about to come to a painful and difficult end. 

My first experience of ecstatic dance blew my mind; who knew that just through dance alone you could access such a powerful state of bliss and catharsis!? From that point on I was hooked. 

Ecstatic dance has personally given me such a consistently powerful means to process life. When it all just gets too overwhelming, confusing and worrying in my head, I always come back to dance to get me back into my body. This always reminds me that everything is actually ok, all that's needed is to feel deeply connected to myself and to the present moment, something dance is so good at doing.

I've been dancing most every single week since then, and trained as an ecstatic dance DJ under Temple Step, a renowned international ecstatic dance DJ, in March 2025.

Now, it's slowly become a passion of mine to create these same amazing embodied dance journeys that I have been so lucky to find and enjoy to regularly. 

Shoutout to my home base dance Ecstatic Dance Melbourne and to Ben and Madhu, the brilliant hearts behind cultivating the OG ecstatic dance Australia-wide!

Much love to you.
