On this day we will explore our relationship to our innate essence of love and how it has the potential to bring us to living in our highest purpose.
Tinelle Matlock is a compassionate humanitarian, avid learner, eager to share her perspective and experiences through teaching dance, meditation, yoga and bodywork. She has had the great fortune to immerse herself in deep study with master teachers and practitioners within the Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Majority of her work is dedicated to how we use the mind-body connection for healing, examining how our inner world is a direct connection to our outer world, and ways to show up in service as love. She graduated with highest honors from University of California Santa Barbara with a BA in Dance and has over 14 years experience as a professional dancer, teacher, and choreographer. Becoming a California Certified Massage Therapist and Reiki Master unearthed an expansive love and relationship to how she uses the body as a dancer and choreographer, which she is grateful for. Currently, she is pursuing further education for a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. Tinelle has a great love and passion for movement as well as helping others find optimal functionality and healing through the arts.
