Added 2025-03-03 04:46:51 +0000 UTC

An hour of practice begins with a talk on goddess style followed with some yoga/ dance movements, and ending in savasana for a guided meditation to meet your inner goddess.

What's your authentic style? Only you can decide on your personal style and who you create it for. Most certainly, for a long time when I dressed up, it was with the hopes of others thinking I looked nice or acceptable. Especially the boys. After trauma in my early twenties, I began hiding. I didn’t want to shine too brightly or be noticed, so my clothes became a matter of function and comfort. I told myself it was better to be humble and make myself small. So dumb; we are meant to engage with all the colors, textures, and sensuality of life. Any representation of a goddess you see is not meek and hiding but beautiful and bold. That's who I seek to embody, a goddess. I ask my inner goddess questions now, like how do you want to adorn yourself today?

As a result, I have been changing how I present and interact with the world. We were meant to feel good and be vibrant at any age, and what we wear can help us feel that energy. Coming from someone who thought the idea of dress up was dumb, I have seen profound effects on changing the way I dress and think about my appearance.

The results- when I dress in something that makes me feel pretty, I feel pretty all day.

People give compliments and smile more, not because they care how I look but because I smile more and feel good, and everything is energy

The more I play at my own sense of goddess fashion, the more I learn about myself and the more confidence I feel in my expression

I try to see every part of myself as beautiful like a work of art; the beauty is in the imperfections

Just because something is for the male gaze doesn’t mean it's not for my gaze too.

Taking time to love yourself is a great example to others and gives them permission to be vibrant as well

Always celebrate the beauty of another

The rule: It has to be comfortable, and I have to feel like the best version of myself in it. If the goddess within wouldn’t wear it, I don’t want to either.
