UNLEASHED
Body Temple Dance Teacher Training
& Tantra Certification
9-Month Somatic & Spiritual Mentorship with Adriana Rizzolo | July 2025 - March 2026
Living in Service to Love
For the Healers, Coaches, Sacred Rebels & Artists Who Came to Create Change…
We're calling in souls ready to awaken their next layer of purpose, pleasure, and passion through embodied healing and authentic relationality. This is for facilitators around the world who are leading others back home to their bodies, back to love, back to the truth of who they came here to be.
When was the last time you felt fully alive in your body? When did you last experience the kind of community where your truth, your shadows, and your light are all welcomed as medicine?
UNLEASHED is for the lovers who refuse to play small. The mystics who know healing happens through the body, not around it. The change-makers ready to step into their soul-led service with fierce devotion and embodied authority.
We're here to support you in becoming the alchemist of your love and life.
Your Body is a Temple
Your Body is a Temple
Hi Soul Friends!
I'm Adriana and I am here to hold Love Herself as the highest guiding light in our lives. Learning how to stay centered, and how to find your center in the midst of chaos and change…is our specialty.
Freedom and love live within, and the body is a vessel to allow the Love of Source to move into this world. We know just how to help you create safety in your system so you can gather the tools you need to feel free in your body.
If you are looking for a community that refuses to buy into the systems that say we should fear our body or that keep us stuck in cycles of unworthiness and smallness, you are in the right place!
WHY NOW? WHY THIS WORK?
Given the state of the world, it makes sense that we have to do some training to be able to access the joy, worth, play, pleasure, and purpose that is our birthright.
Freedom and love live within, and the body is a vessel to allow the Love of Source to move into this world. We know just how to help you create safety in your system so you can gather the tools you need to feel free in your body.
We heal not because there is something wrong with us, but because the systems we live inside have disconnected us from the natural ways of being that used to be part of our culture. We struggle to handle grief and the intensity of following our soul's calling.
And we should never have to cry alone.
If you are looking for a community that refuses to buy into the systems that say we should fear our body or that keep us stuck in cycles of unworthiness and smallness, you are in the right place!
THE MEDICINE YOU’ll receive:
✨ Awaken Heart-Led Healing through somatic movement, meditation, and nervous system education
✨ Decolonize Your Body, Heart & Mind from patriarchal patterns and step into relational empowerment

In Body Temple Community we affirm the human experience for the sake of liberation, both personal and collective. We teach you to be the alchemist of your love and life. Together we change our experience of suffering from one of oppression to one of living in service to love.
THE DEEPER HEALING WE'RE OFFERING
"Whether we learn how to love ourselves and others will depend on the presence of a loving environment. Self-love cannot flourish in isolation." - Bell Hooks
When you are a deeply feminine being, meaning you care about the ways we are all interconnected and choose to live from a space of relatedness… you need strong containers and boundaries to hold all the Shakti and what wants to be birthed through you.
Together, we learn how imperative co-regulation is with nature, in community and with Source Herself.
We reclaim our power, pleasure, and purpose through singing, dancing, sharing our gifts, participating in Earth rituals, joining grief circles, writing, joy against all odds and sharing our stories. These practices help us release stored stress and awaken more humility, reverence, and heart-centered living.
Let's walk side by side with broken open hearts to awaken more humility, reverence, and heart-centered living and loving.
DIVINE FEMININE LIBERATION IN ALL BODIES
Every ritual and teaching aligns with the energies of healing, empowerment, and divine feminine liberation. We've included new facilitators to deepen our understanding of queer liberation, ancestral wisdom, and sacred sexuality — all while holding space for your nervous system to rest, receive, and transform.
THE THREE TRIMESTERS OF TRANSFORMATION
A NINE-MONTH JOURNEY THROUGH THE TEMPLE OF YOURSELF
FIRST TRIMESTER: Diving into Your Dharma & Drama (July - September)
Uncover your personal process with the nervous system and the states that arise. Develop your sacred practice (sadhana) with the Tantric tradition and Goddess work. 3 sessions per month: somatic education, Tantric Goddess practices, and coaching calls.
We will gently ease our way into the training with three sessions per month. There will also be extra live and recorded Body Temple Dance Classes on Fridays for connection anytime.
SECOND TRIMESTER: The Art of Facilitation (October - December)
Learn how to become a vessel for the work your soul came here to do. Build confidence through somatic exercises and master the Body Temple Dance framework. Meet twice monthly for intensive skill-building.
Facilitation to us is how available we are to allow our body to be the vessel for the work that the soul came here to do. It is also about our perception, which comes from our Autonomic Nervous System. We facilitate everything in our lives from our relationships to the creative and soul work we came to offer the world.
THIRD TRIMESTER: Being Seen - Soul-Led Service & Business (January - March)
Integrate your learning and receive support for your unique offerings. Get guidance for launching your soul-led business with the Goddess as your partner. Transform shadows around money and receptivity.
In the last phase of our time together you will have more space to integrate and also get support from your peers in small groups for practice as well as sharing an offering unique to you. Together we will open up the portal to being seen and taking the Goddess as your forever business partner.
SECRET FOURTH TRIMESTER: Community for Life
Connect with healers, artists, and change-makers from around the world. Access ongoing support through our private app and lifelong connections.
People make new friends and mostly have a place to come and have their truth, beauty, worth and love vibrationally mirrored, which in itself changes the ways we relate to ourselves and the world.
WHAT YOU’LL MASTER & TRANSFORM
🌹 Body Temple Dance Certification - Learn to lead movement and meditation with confidence and humility
🌹 Somatic & Nervous System Education - Master polyvagal theory, co-regulation, and trauma-informed practices
🌹 Sacred Facilitation Skills - Develop the art of holding space for transformation with boundaries and devotion
🌹 Tantric Energy Work - Learn to channel energy through traditional practices and Goddess Sadhana
🌹 Business & Soul Integration - Receive support for sharing your gifts authentically in the world
🌹 Relationship Mastery - Transform how you relate to yourself, others, and the divine through embodied practice
This training is the first of its kind in that we are sinking in over a longer period of time so we can move as slowly and sustainably as possible. So we can dive in together online but also be immersed in the day-to-day of our lives and living fully alive.
We work with the intersection between the subtle body and our physiology. The elements within and without. We do Goddess Sadhana and worship to learn how to both awaken and harness the energy of worth, beauty, eros, love, intuition, creativity, devotion, and healing.
We teach you how to channel energy through your body via Tantra, and the living experience of freeing trauma from our systems–opening to the wildly creative and intuitive humans we are. The artist within and the one who knows how to heal when given the space to do so.
FROM THE TEMPLE KEEPER
Beloved Sacred Soul,
I'm Adriana, and I hold this Temple as both sanctuary and crucible—a place where Love Herself reigns as our highest guiding light.
For too long, we've been taught to keep God and our bodies in separate rooms—to transcend rather than embody, to purify rather than integrate, to rise above rather than dive within.
This Temple exists because I know the body holds stories the mind cannot contain. Because I've witnessed thousands transform their deepest wounds into their most potent medicine through embodied practice.
Because true liberation comes through the body, not around it.
If you're reading these words, something within you recognizes this truth. Your cells remember what your conditioning tried to make you forget—that you are both divine and wildly human, that your emotions are sacred messengers, that your pleasure is holy ground.
The Body Temple Membership awaits those ready to reclaim this knowing. To dance with both their shadows and their light. To heal in the embrace of community that honors the full spectrum of your becoming.
The medicine has always lived here, in your raw expressions of soul.
With fierce devotion,
Adriana
Welcome to the body temple membership — this is the updated, upgraded, juicier offering your soul has been waiting for.
Body Temple Dance Friday Classes
Body Temple Dance is a somatic and spiritual wholistic approach and movement made for you to inhabit your body’s authentic pleasure, love, and aliveness.
This movement language and practice welcomes both the shadow and divinity.
Together we weave trauma-informed foundations based on nervous system education, embodied sex education, and traditional Tantric energy healing for self-healing and integration.
Everything we perceive about ourselves and the world comes from the state of our nervous system, yet none of us were taught how to work with this.
We all want to open to greater pleasure, reclaim our passion and live our soul’s purpose but there is a process of slowing and sustainable growing our valley of capacity for receiving.
BT Dance is a practice of prayer in movement with what is and learning how to be with discomfort without shutting down, running away, or attacking.
It is for those who wish to go deeper into the sacred world of somatics, feminine healing arts, movement, and expression as the ultimate healer of intimacy blocks, trauma, and reclaiming our purpose to love here on Earth.

VOICES FROM THE TEMPLE
"I am a therapist, healer, and teacher and I got here through the courageous work I did with Adriana 1:1, in retreats, in classes and in the riverbeds of Ojai. She loves hard. Let it resurrect/wash over you. (Your choice lol)"
Sam Gennuso
"I can say without a doubt that I've gone through more emotional growth & healing within that two-month container than I have in the past few years. It's been monumental for me, and I can't wait to keep working deeply with this medicine."
Sarah Rayne
"I was able to find a new creative release and deep connection to the world around me and to love. Honestly I don't have enough words to say how transformative this work together has been, but it's opened up a whole new aliveness and confidence previously unknown."
Maria
“This journey has been nothing short of a homecoming—a return to the truth of who I am, what I am here to do, and the medicine that has been waiting to pour through me all along. What I thought would take years of searching, unraveling, and struggling to integrate instead came in like a tidal wave of clarity, devotion, and deep embodiment. This path found me exactly when I was ready—even when my mind doubted, even when my conditioning resisted, even when my body held onto the old stories of limitation.”
Jenna
“This was a one of a kind experience and a true gift I will cherish forever more. It is so rare to be invited to connect fully to your body, your shadow, your creativity, AND your joy all at once, and to do so in a space that is not only trauma aware but trauma healing. Adriana's voice makes you feel held and rooted, while her energy inspires you to explore and reembody every inch and corner of your inner world, in a safe and incredibly potent way. This community is full of loving, beautiful, generous, brave and wild human souls seeking true intimacy”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Your mind might try to hold you back — that’s natural. There’s a part of all of us that clings to comfort, to what feels familiar and "safe," especially when stepping into deep soul work like releasing blocks, shedding old conditioning, and embodying something new.
The truth is, this journey isn’t about staying safe — it’s about becoming free.
Your ego might sound the alarm, throwing up objections like "I don't have the time," "It’s too expensive," or "What if I can’t commit?" — all in an attempt to keep you exactly where you are. That’s what the ego does. It protects the old version of you, even when your soul is aching for more.
A powerful practice: write down every doubt or story your mind is spinning. Then ask yourself — "Is this actually true?"
In the end, you’ll feel it in your soul if this is meant for you. It won’t be a logical yes — it’ll be a knowing that hums beneath the noise. If that call is already stirring within you, this is your chance to answer it.
