Dance. Yoga. Healing.
contact me for bodywork, private yoga or dance lessons: Rie@riekatagiri.com
Rie is a yoga & movement instructor and bodyworker with extensive training in shiatsu, deep tissue, cranial sacral and energy balancing.
She discovered pole dancing at Sheila Kelly’s S Factor in Los Angeles which led her to become an instructor and one of their national teacher trainers. She currently teaches pole dancing, sensual moving meditation and yoga at Movement Studio LA in West Hollywood.
Although her pole artistry allows her to celebrate her femininity and creative energy through dance, her passion for self discovery through movement began with yoga 15 years ago when she began her life changing yoga practice with Ana Forrest.
“ I didn’t know (or forgot) what an honor and pleasure it was to live in this intelligent body of mine until I began a serious Forrest Yoga practice. Ana generously taught me how to feel, heal and embody my spirit.”
Rie is also a very proud member of the aerial pole performance group The Flying Vs.
Please visit us at www.theflyingvs.com to see what we are up to next.
Dance, regardless of what it is called; Pole Dancing, Erotic Dance, Tango, Tantra, Belly Dancing, it is our birthright and it is not about broken women that have no other place to go.
It is about her passion unleashed.
When we gather and dance and are witnessed, supported by other women, healing does take place.
