No. This training is especially supportive for women who already teach, coach, facilitate, lead movement, hold space, or gather community—but you do not need to already have a formal facilitation practice.

You’ll be taught the Shake Rising methodology and foundational facilitation skills throughout the training.

Upon successfully completing both training weekends and the certification requirements, you’ll be certified to facilitate Shake Rising classes and bring the practice into your own community—through studios, retreats, events, workshops, and spaces of your own.

And you won’t be doing it alone.

You’ll become part of a growing community of Shake Rising facilitators across the U.S.—women to connect with, collaborate with, learn alongside, share resources with, travel + teach with, and continue growing alongside as this work expands.

The training ends. The community doesn’t.

No. You do not need a dance, fitness, or formal movement background to become a Shake Rising facilitator.

Shake Rising is intentionally non-performative. We’ll teach you how to work with movement, choreography + music, as well as how to offer options for different bodies and experiences.

You don’t need to move, sound or facilitate like anyone else. Part of the training is learning the methodology deeply enough to discover your own authentic way of leading it.

Yes. Payment plans are available.

We also offer BIPOC scholarship support for women who feel called to this work. Reach out to us directly for scholarship details.

You’ll learn the methodology behind Shake Rising—including nervous system regulation, shaking, subconscious beliefs + affirmations, the energy centers, attention + life force, music, movement, class structure, sequencing and cueing.

You’ll also practice facilitating, receive personalized feedback, and learn how to create non-performative spaces where women have permission to experience the practice in their own way.

Thursday: 4:00–7:00 PM
Friday–Sunday: 11:00 AM–5:00 PM

Both weekends follow the same general schedule.

 Housing and travel are not included.

An optional lunch add-on is available for training days, or you’re welcome to bring your own lunch. We’ll send full logistical details before the training.

You’ll receive a welcome email with your training dates, schedule and next steps. And, we'll CELEBRATE!

As we get closer, we’ll send everything you need to prepare—including the exact Encinitas location, what to bring, any pre-training materials + additional logistical details.

Maybe. Maybe not. And either way, you belong in the room.

Shake Rising isn't designed for a certain age, body, or stage of life. Women of different ages come to this practice with different bodies, life experiences, energy levels + ways of expressing themselves—and that diversity makes the room, the practice, and the community richer.

You do not need to move like the women you see on Instagram. You don't need to be the loudest, wildest, or most physically expressive person in the room.

You get to bring the body, energy + woman you are right now.

No.

Sensuality can be one expression that arises in Shake Rising—but it is never the goal, expectation or requirement.

The practice makes room for the full range of expression: softness, anger, grief, joy, stillness, power, play, sensuality, resistance, numbness—and everything in between.

As a facilitator, your job isn't to get women to express themselves a certain way. It's to create enough permission and choice for each woman to discover what is authentic for her.

You also don't need to facilitate like me—or embody sensuality the way I do—to lead this work.

Your expression gets to look like you.
