an embodied exploration of the self

be. begin. believe.​ belong. become.

lihi guides immersive somatic experiences rooted in breath, movement, and self-inquiry. her poetic approach to self-inquiry fosters emotional resilience, inner confidence, and embodied presence — inviting students to honor their full humanity and live from a place of depth.

lihi leads a dynamic blend of somatic practices to navigate emotional landscapes. she is profoundly committed to the poetic art of self-inquiry through breathwork and movement. her teaching is distinguished by her ability to weave these elements into a cohesive practice that respects the complexity of the human experience.

at the heart of her work is the ongoing journey to be — an unfolding through being, beginning, becoming, belonging,and believing. each phase invites a deeper attunement to the body’s wisdom, a more spacious relationship with the self, and a remembering of what it means to live from within. through this living inquiry, lihi cultivates spaces where transformation emerges organically, rooted in presence and possibility.

she published her first book of poetry, the self, reframed: in the realm of raw in early 2025. her poetry serves as a reflective mirror, deepening the themes she explores in her somatic work and offering an additional avenue for connection and self-discovery.
