About
Tasheena Medina Chavez

Hi, I'm Tasheena.
I'm an educator, facilitator, choreographer, and creator of Intuitive Movement Meditation (IMM), an educational framework that integrates movement, mindfulness, breath awareness, reflection, and embodied learning.
For more than 18 years, I have taught in educational, wellness, and performing arts settings, helping individuals of all ages explore movement as a pathway to self-awareness, creativity, and connection. My background includes dance education, choreography, yoga, mindfulness, and social-emotional learning, all of which inform the way I teach today.
I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Theatre from AMDA College of the Performing Arts and a Master of Arts in Yoga Studies from Loyola Marymount University. My graduate research led to the development of Intuitive Movement Meditation (IMM), an approach designed to support mindfulness, embodied awareness, and practical tools for navigating everyday life.
Today, my work lives at the intersection of movement, education, and well-being. Through classes, workshops, writing, and community experiences, I create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, cultivate greater awareness, and explore what becomes possible when they learn to listen inward.
I believe that change can be embodied—and that meaningful transformation often begins with a single moment of awareness.
My Approach..
I believe movement can be more than exercise or performance; it can be a pathway to self-awareness, connection, and meaningful change. Through Intuitive Movement Meditation, I create learning experiences that invite curiosity, reflection, and embodied awareness while honoring each person's unique journey.
