In-Person & Live Online

Starting Wednesday September 2, 2026

10:30 – 11:30 AM

Music carries memory in the body, the swing of bossa nova, the pulse of samba, the heat of salsa, the embrace of bachata. This class is an invitation to let that rhythm move through you, blending the roots of Brazilian and Latin music with the freedom of contemporary movement. We’ll explore how each rhythm asks something different of the body, samba opens the hips and the breath, bossa nova slows us into a softer sway, salsa and bachata bring connection and playful precision, and let those qualities shape our own contemporary expression.

No additional skills needed. Just your body, your breath, and your presence. This is a space to move as we are, guided by the music rather than a fixed set of steps, discovering our own way of translating rhythm into shape and feeling.

Regina Lumsden

Regina is inspired by her clients’ journeys as they move beyond physical and emotional pain. She finds great joy in witnessing their transformation—becoming more empowered, centered, grounded, and at peace—through their work together.

A licensed massage therapist, Regina graduated from the Hawaii College of Health Science in Honolulu after relocating from the UK in 1997. She initially practiced massage part-time before transitioning to a full-time role as a Waldorf teacher, specializing in movement-based education.

In 2005, Regina became a client of Noa Batlin, a healing arts practitioner who works with the understanding that the body stores physical and emotional memories. When these memories go unprocessed, they can create pain and prevent us from fully inhabiting our lives—body, soul, and spirit. Because these memories are often held in the fascia, modalities such as deep tissue and myofascial release can support the process of letting go and moving toward greater freedom.

Regina shares, “In 2007, I was in a car/bicycle accident that changed my life. Receiving deep tissue and myofascial release work daily helped me fully recover from what could have been permanent physical damage. That experience gave me a profound insight: our mindset shapes our lives, and bodywork can be transformational on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It’s about committing to ourselves as we move through life.”

After making a full recovery, Regina gradually transitioned out of teaching to devote herself fully to healing bodywork therapy—a decision her many grateful clients wholeheartedly appreciate.
