Somewhere along the way, we decided what counts as "important." We started measuring value by job titles, packed calendars, tailored suits, and long meetings. If someone says they're busy with work, we immediately understand. We nod with respect.

We talk about life in fragments- We say human, sexual, productive, creative, horny, tired, alive — as if these were separate states, as if we were switching between modes like buttons: off or on, zero or one hundred.

• A deeper connection to your body and sensuality

With Teresa Maria, at Salty Pines, I finally found a source of sacred guidance I had been searching for my whole life. Discovering the path towards the precious knowledge of how to embody the beauty, the power, and the vulnerability of being a woman.

In every woman lives a wild feminine power- a power that is longing for freedom and true expression. It has been suppressed for so long- for generations back. It has been violated, raped, diminished and shamed. It is now time for us to end this cycle and rebirth into what was always there- the divine feminine source.

I came into Teresa's pole studio some years ago, not exactly knowing how I ended up in there or why I was there, but I had a longing for more connection to my feminine being through movement.

There's a special kind of glow that settles in after a session at Salty Pines Studio in Nesodden. The body is alive — tingling, strong and open. After dancing, sharing and moving freely, every cell lands in its natural essence- the feminine essence. The heart feels lighter and the breath deeper.

During classes, breath is a simple but powerful tool in movement practice. It's not about performance or control — it's about staying present. When the body moves and emotions come to the surface, the breath helps you meet what's there instead of resisting it.
