Transcend Fest VT 2026

Somatic SWEAT is a Fight, Flow & Flexibility Class Rooted in Rhythm and Dance.

Participants move through powerful, rhythmic “fight” sequences to build strength and cardio, transition into fluid, dance-inspired flow, and finish with grounding flexibility on the mat.
This somatic movement class blends sweat and self-expression with body awareness and nervous system regulation. Designed for all levels, no dance experience is required—just a willingness to move, sweat, and connect to rhythm.

Erin returns to Transcend Fest with a high-energy Buti MVMNT class inspired by the power, joy, and connection that make festival movement unforgettable.

In the Marathi language, the word buti means "a secret remedy or cure," but it's no secret that Buti MVMNT is a powerful blend of yoga asana, strength and conditioning, cardio, plyometrics, and somatic, primal movement designed to challenge both body and mind.
This sweat-dripping, full-body experience will have you moving with confidence as you tap into your inner warrior.
Set to a heart-pumping playlist, Erin's Buti classes are empowering, playful, and unapologetically fun. Come ready to work hard, let go, and leave feeling strong, alive, and fully in your body.

This workshop uses Dao Yin principles to harmonize the body's internal systems and boost natural energy levels.

Together we dive into the connections between pelvic health, the nervous system and movement as medicine in this transformative experience. In this seminar, you will learn basci anatomy and function of the pelvic region including muscles, nerves, lymphatic system & more and the basics of the nervous system and its role in regulating bodily functions. Together we will dive into how stress, stress, emotions, and lifestyle affect the nervous system and, consequently, pelvic health. From there we approach movement as medicine and how you can use movement to promote pelvic health and nervous system health for an all encompassing approach to your body.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian cultural expression rooted in resistance, play, and collective memory. Blending movement, music, and dialogue, it invites practitioners into a living practice of awareness, adaptability, and connection. Through agile, expressive movements accompanied by live music, Capoeira becomes a space for embodied presence, cultural transmission, and communal healing.

What will happen in this experience? 
We'll begin with a brief opening circle, followed by a slow, somatic arrival to help you land in your body and in the space. From this place of alignment and connectedness, we'll flow into solo, partner, and group improvisational movement. Along the way, we'll pause and hold space to reflect and integrate as a group. No dance experience needed! 
Side effects may include: spontaneous joy, emotional release, and feelings of oneness.
