From my experience, Lyra's teaching lacks both trauma-informed awareness and practices. For an embodiment/somatics teacher of any kind, this is not only irresponsible, it is deeply reckless, as teachers have immense power over students self perceptions.

Because of Lyra, much of my chronic ... read more
