How The 40 | 40 Can Help You
Mobility
Our bones reach maximum density in our early 30s, which means that our bones are prone to fractures and injuries as we age.
The playful practices in the Mobility Series help you to move freely, build strength, and carry groceries into your golden years.
"If you hurt it by moving, you can heal it by moving."
Qigong
Qigong means 'breath-work' or 'energy work' and is one of the most ancient healing arts in the world, dating back to 4000 B.C.
Through the integration of breath and movement, the videos in the Qigong Series help regulate your nervous system while having fun.
"When you work with your energy, you can't be wrong."
Dance
The single most effective way to be healthier and happier - and live longer - is to dance more.
In the Dance Series, we use music to connect to rhythm, rhythm to find our groove, and groove to feel joy.
"Dance is the destination. It is also the path."
Self-Care
Science has shown that touch and meditation can boost all four brain chemicals related to happiness and self-worth - dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin.
Loving ourselves might be a challenge, but it's a necessary part of our survival.
"Touch is our first - and most vital - sense."
Bonus
The Bonus Series has short videos focused on warming up, cooling down, and single-focused practices designed to support the work in the other video series.
"Movement is our first language."
Here is an example of one of The 40 | 40 Program Videos exactly as it appears in the course.
Bonus Series - Immune System Boost
QUOTE
“From the Latin Immunis, ‘to make safe’” ~ Etymology of ‘Immune’
COOL FACT
Some members of the Navajo Nation in the southwestern United States wake up and run east to greet the Sun.
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple and energizing practice I use in the mornings to bring the body’s systems online. The short series of movements softly wakes up the immune system, moves the blood, and opens the breath. Cheers to gentle sympathetic activation!
TIP
Do it in the mornings to feel some vitality. Yes and, do it anytime you are inspired to do it.

I'M ELIA.
The 40 | 40 program sits at the intersection of my fullest self-expression and my highest act of service.
I work from wisdom, towards truth, through creativity.
And I use the power of the healing arts, the movement arts, and the performing arts - dance, meditation, qigong (chi kung), and somatics - to transform the creative act into community.
I am a trauma-informed educator and approach my work through a nervous-system and systems-centered lens. This means that I provide safety and containment by attuning to each unique individual while holding space for the larger group.
I work with adults, kids, elders, professional dancers, very non-professional dancers, in chairs, out of chairs, with words, without words, in different cultures, and with all different kinds of abilities.
I teach clients, facilitate workshops, and lead classes. I design community healthcare programs, facilitate online nervous-system education, and advise other somatic professionals. I also perform, choreograph, and produce art.
I have dedicated my life to this work. It is my gift, and I am honored to share it with you.
