Movement becomes transformational
when it’s honored as a practice of devotion
In our devotion to presence, curiosity, trust, and
self-expression, we access new depths of embodiment that transform our movement in ways we only once imagined.
The Experience ~
Together, we'll practice embodied devotion through the teachings of:
breathing techniques for pole
practices for directing your awareness and expanding mind-body connection
approachable ways to bring fluidity into shapes and transitions at any skill level
using creative prompts to nurture your relationship to exploration and the continual discovery of personal style.
These practices fortify your relationship with movement by guiding you into profound states of presence, deeper layers of sensation, and expanded awareness of the possibilities that are available to you now, regardless of where you are in your dance journey.
Is the Undercurrent really for you?
If you are a dancer who’s ready to explore
the depths of embodiment beneath the surface of skills, shapes, and tricks
— this is for you.
If you’ve caught glimpses of deeper presence, connection, artistry, and
embodiment, but need a clear pathway to access and cultivate them
— this is for you.
If you’ve danced for a few weeks, a handful of months, or a couple of years
— this is for you.
If you happen to be an advanced dancer or instructor who is seeking the language, frameworks, and tools to both deepen your own practice and guide others there
— this is for you.
20 Students Max. Registration Closes Aug. 12th

We revere dancing as
a way of being in the body
— present, connected, and expressive.
Our Process ~
Whether you are joining live or choosing the self-paced program, we’ll guide you through tried and true ways of breathing life into the skeleton of a movement. You'll give it muscle, flesh, and personality until you can feel every fiber of your being engaged in what you're doing. This awareness transforms your skills from mere mechanics into experiences of deep sensation, intention, and self-expression. You’ll walk away with new techniques and a deeper understanding of how and why they work. The goal is to leave you with insight that feels clear, useful, and genuinely meaningful to your movement journey.
As you complete the Undercurrent, you’ll emerge feeling more alive in your movement — having met parts of yourself you didn't have access to before, with the tools and resources to keep discovering more. The session recordings, tutorials, and worksheets are yours to keep with lifetime access, so you can return to them whenever you need.
Workshops, Worksheets, and Tutorials:
We’ve curated four workshops paired with four written worksheets filled with prompts for movement, mindfulness, and journaling to integrate your practices on and off the pole. Additionally, we’ve provided six tutorials that support your continued learning of techniques, practical skills, and variations that aren’t covered in the workshops. Lastly, you receive new bonus tutorials that drop with each new live container we host!
When you choose the Self-Paced Program, you gain immediate access to all of these resources so you can begin as soon as you’re ready, and move at a pace that works for you and your life!
Benefits of Joining Live:
From August 15th - September 5th, we’ll gather on Zoom each Saturday at 11am PST for 90-minutes. Every live session is recorded so if life pulls you away, you won't miss a thing!
We highly value live participation so we can move with you, offer personal support, and build connections that can’t be cultivated via recordings.
Between sessions we gather in our community group chat. Here, we all share progress videos, celebrate each other's breakthroughs, and feel the energy of moving alongside others on the same path. So much of this work deepens in community — and we're committed to building the kind of connections that extend beyond the screen and into your life!
Additionally, we provide homework prompts in the form of video submission to support your ability to track progress and visibly see yourself integrate and grow! We amplifying your movement by sharing everyones work on socials as we move through the program. If you are someone who would love the guidance of curating visuals in an artistic manner, this is a beautiful added benefit of joining the live container!

What Our Community is Saying
“My artistic voice has deepened, sharpened, and come alive in a new way that not only I have felt, but people who have witnessed me in-flow have felt too. I now feel the texture of my creativity moving through more layers of my being.”
“Words barely touch the depth of what I received, but I can say this: if you feel called to work with Nirvana, trust that calling. She creates the conditions for true transformation that continues to ripple long after the container closes.”
Kiyomi Sales“Nirvana has so much knowledge and lived experience to share and is able to break down her methods and pathways into achievable steps.”
Vanessa Gonzales“I’m coming away with renewed foundations and pathways to expand into. I have way more clarity on my intentions and purpose, and inspiration to build into new creations and scaffolding around my practices.”

Frequently Asked Questions-
Discount codes are shared through our socials and with our email list subscribers. Join us there to receive yours.
-
Yes, having some pole experience is helpful. We recommend being familiar with climbs as a minimum — they don't have to be perfect or polished, just part of your vocabulary.
-
You don't need to already be strong or have a particular set of moves. If you're familiar with climbs, you have what you need to begin — everything else, including strength, we build through the practices themselves.
-
Not at all. As a more advanced dancer, the skills themselves will feel very accessible to you — and that's the point. You'll receive the most benefit from the concepts and practices we share, which translate to any skill you already know or will learn in the future.
-
Having your own home pole space is ideal but not required. You're welcome to tune in from a friend's pole space or a pole studio.
-
Live sessions are held on Saturdays at 11am Pacific Time — July 11th, 18th, 25th, and August 1st. If you're elsewhere, please translate to your timezone.
-
Being seen can feel vulnerable, and we hold that with care. We protect your privacy in a few ways: though we ask for cameras on so we can move together and truly be present with one another, only the instructors and anyone who chooses to speak appear in the recordings. Those recordings stay within our program, seen only by those enrolled, and we ask everyone to honor one another by never capturing or sharing another person's movement. This is a space to be in process — there's no need to look a certain way, nor to perform to a certain degree. We're here to support you exactly as you are, and to celebrate your journey.
-
Life happens, and you won't fall behind. Every live session is recorded and uploaded to your learning portal within a few hours, so you can move through it on your own time. We'll always love having you there live — that's where the real-time connection lives — but the recording is yours to return to whenever you need.
-
We recommend setting time aside for one or two additional movement sessions each week to practice the material and integrate it on your own. With each practice being approx. 90 minutes and factoring in time for worksheets and self-study, you can anticipate devoting only 5-7hrs of your week to this program.
-
All recordings, tutorials, and worksheets live in our online learning portal. When you register, you'll be prompted to create a login that grants you access. Right after you sign up, we'll send info to navigate the portal and use your materials. You'll have lifetime access to everything.
-
Tutorials and worksheets are shared immediately after each live session concludes. Session recordings take 2–4 hours to process and upload once the session ends.
-
Each Thursday, participants in this tier send a recording of them moving through the core concepts we covered. We’ll respond to your video Friday morning. This feedback is here to uplift and cultivate you — offering even more support in refining the details and expanding on the practices we share.
-
Refunds aren't available. If you're unable to participate for any reason, you'll still receive lifetime access to all the learning materials, so the investment stays yours to use.
-
This is the beginning of an ongoing path with us. The Undercurrent is the first offering in a larger body of work we're building, and you'll be the first to know as new programs, practices, and ways to keep moving together unfold. And with lifetime access to everything here, your practice continues long after our four weeks together.
