Keep your center.
Thrive, no matter where you've been planted.”

Joshua Flores
Joshua has trained in various movement styles including: modern/post modern dance, movement theater, power & restorative yoga, martial arts, and movement meditation.
He is a performance artist combining his love of dance/theater with architecture, music, and multimedia platforms. His work centers around the commentary of social equality, mental health, and environmental conservation ect.
It was firstly in his fascination with art therapies that led him through his own healing journey of emotional trauma, anxiety, and bullying. Having remained dedicated to the investigation of self, he was able to unearth the magic of homogenizing energetic awareness with breath control, and movement therapy.
By combining traditional Eastern practices with modern movement therapy techniques he found the sweet of spot where Mind meets Body in a safe, structured, and serendipitous space! Thus, the creation on Somatic Revelations was born…
Somatic Revelations is an amalgamation of integrative breathing practices, interoceptive movement techniques, and dynamic healing modalities that create a container to build mind/body relationship and connectivity. Put simply, it is the once restricted information of the body, heart, and mind beginning the process of reveling itself, letting this information come to light.
~ Somatic Revelations ~
“The backbone for this movement practice is rooted in building relationship within yourself, being in conversation with any ailments, pains, or constrictions. Focusing the work on peeling back layers to reveal the truths of our minds and bodies. It is in this connective mind/body experience that we begin to harness our deeper and more realized version of self-worth. It is a process of rediscovery, and these moments of rediscovery happen in all places: in our movement, our stillness, and our willingness to experience something new. Mentality, energy awareness, and breath are the keys to this practice. This practice is for any body and any skill level, as there is always another piece of the self to discover.”
