Release your butt™ first occurred to me in 2021 while I was collaborating on a project focused on undoing white supremacy in the Alexander Technique. I realized there is a link for me between my whiteness and my patterns of tension. Born from my irreverently reverent nature, this phrase helped shift something in my soma along with putting a big old grin on my face.
Today I’m delighted to announce the Release your butt™ line of hats, mugs, and totes.
Release your butt™ hats, mugs, and totes
3% of any profits from this project will go to The Embodiment Institute co-founded by Prentis Hemphill and Kasha Ho.
And for those of you out there curious to explore a more nuanced understanding of what releasing your butt might be all about, here is a free bonus guided Release your butt™ somatic meditation.
Over the years, Release your butt™ has become a playful invitation to pause, notice, gather, and ground our body-mind-spirits. Let’s surrender what we no longer need to hold. Let’s be in our somatic agency and consciously choose to venture into freer embodied territory. Let’s get real about our somatic strategies for how we meet and process what’s out of our control. Let’s recognize and honor the beautiful chaos. Release your butt™ is a conversation and gift between you and you, a local act that can benefit the greater whole. Your butt is yours to do with what you want. How will you be with it today?
