The body is an X for stability. In Peony Somatic Dance, we look for ways to destabilize/challenge the body + brain so that we can find new things. Working on the same side is like a puzzle for the body/brain, + physical puzzles are great for mental health, dynamic aging, + staving off dementia.

This is the first time she’s really NOT been into the album. Is it because it’s clear? Is she not digging Rosalia?! 🤣 #caturday #cat #catwithvinyl #rosalia

In morning quickie: foot care today. A visualization, mobility work, and a bit of massage. I’ve seen a lot of feet in my teaching over the last 18 yrs, including the feet of elders. 😮 Take care of your feet + work on your ankles. Your older self will thank you. (Me at Lake Erie)

Cat Daddy has a continuing ed thing for lots of hours this weekend (local) so I’ll be working on some writing projects and cuddling cats. HOW DO I EVER GET OUT OF BED?! It’s a mystery. 🥰🥰🥰 #caturday

Today in my Facebook memories it reminded me that I started writing Blisschick 18 years ago. There are quite a few connections that started with that blog and are still going strong. I am so grateful for the impact that space had on my life. 💕💕💕 stages…

The spring weather has really been affecting my joints this year so I spent the weekend doing all kinds of stretching and joint care interspersed many times throughout each day. 🌼🕯️🌼 A #guadalupe candle for Daisy cat. #cat

From teaching on zoom. She would NOT leave me alone. And thank goodness for my "shelf," because she was determined to stay for the ride. (This is sped up. From "bodyparts" section of class, focusing on joints.) Sound up + imagine Begonia is the one singing it 😆 #somatichealing #cat #bjork

A sad #caturday 😞 Our sweet Daisy 🌼 peacefully passed away this morning. Cat daddy had an unexpected day off so she was held by her favorite human, at home, in the sunshine of the front window. 🌼🌼🌼

A Begonia face is worth a million words and this is what she has to say about anyone still supporting this vile administration.

I’m struggling today with some deep triggers and the epstein horrors but there’s this cat, thankfully 💕 #begoniayuki #caturday

Yesterday evening I took some time to do a bit of my own practice before getting online to teach. When I had a bricks and mortar in Erie years ago, I did that all the time. Sometimes I really feel like past me was much smarter... ((sigh))

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

if you were raised in a conservative family, what made you see there was another way? I was a big reader from the start and that immediately showed me there were different ways of being family. There’s much more but bsky and its stupidly low character count. You?

Somehow this was TEN years ago. This past decade has been horrible and this me had no idea what was coming. I miss her and will never forgive the people who made this decade happen… who took her from me… who stole all our energy and forced us into long term survival mode.

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Back to full teaching load this week. Thank goodness. I need my extended year end break and then I need to get back to working with my communities. 💕💕💕 Begonia in the sun ☀️ #cat

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

I love when stuff like this spontaneously happens in a class. The energies just suddenly sync up. 💕💕💕 Things are hard and this community care work sustains the teacher as much as anyone else. #peonysomaticdance #somatichealing #dancetherapy #mentalhealth

Oh to be this content… I’m trying to be more like this cat but my God… this year already feels too long and too full of panic. But I’m working not to allow the soul eaters to win. #cat

It’s a beautiful sunny Sunday and we’re taking down the tree but leaving up all the lights because SAD. Twinkle lights have helped me through winter for a long time now. There will be reading and journaling and dancing. Interspersed with angry outbursts ((ha)) because obviously… this world… #cat

Fits right in with what I’d already picked: wonder and whimsy

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Good things yesterday that felt like optimistic omens of sorts: 1) the dropping of the Jack Smith deposition; 2) the osu loss (sorry not sorry); 3) the beauty of the Stranger Things finale and how the entire series was about overcoming trauma through witness, community, and love. Begonia last night:

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

This year has sucked. But bits of sanity, as always, came from this cat and art. A few easy ones off the top of my head: My favorite pop song this year: Where is my husband, Raye My favorite book: Loving Sylvia Plath, Emily Van Duyne Fave TV: Stranger Things (OF COURSE) Movie: Sinners

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

What if the mystery song in the last Stranger Things is Radio Ga Ga? Look at the lyrics (if you're into this). Side note: they didn't say it was a song that had never been in a movie but a song from an artist from whom it's difficult to get permission. #strangerthings #cat

One of the prettiest skies I’ve seen since moving here almost six years ago. It only makes me miss the constantly dramatic and HUGE skies of Erie (PA) even more. 🎄🎄🎄 (Columbus, OH...)

I woke up angry today for every child and woman who has had to suffer the anger and violence of the m3n in their lives, from families to the larger systems. I’m sick of it all. So here’s Daisy. We weren’t sure she’d live through summer and then she got better. 🎄🥰🎄 #caturday

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

EXTRA angry about everything today but I taught my last class of the year and I’M OFFICIALLY ON BREAK. 🎄🎄🎄 a bunch of regulars showed up whom I adore so this was a perfect way to end my teaching year. 🥰

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

8 years ago. Innocent of what was to come. Before a handful of psychopathic putrid beings started stealing our life energy and ruining anything beautiful and good that they can get their hands on. Yep, I’m a little bitter.

Somehow three of them squeezed under our wee Charlie Brown tree. But sunshine is at a premium lately so… 🎄🎄🎄#cat #christmas #christmastree🎄 #sun #caturday

Heading out to Holiday Hop. The few blocks of stores and restaurants right near us close to traffic and there are art vendors and music. It’s chilly but a dry day and a bit of time to ignore the hellscape. And here’s some Begonia for your #caturday #cat

Christine Serfozo | Peony Somatic Dance @peonysomaticdance.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Teaching last night at #osu #wexarts was fantastic and gave me a lot of ideas. But today I’m overwhelmed by the world and the death cult admin we’re living under and my energy is low. Thankful to have to teach this evening too to work through some of this.

Stayed in town while my husband went to our hometown for Thanksgiving so I could take care of our elder cat, Lilly, who is 18 and needing special feedings. She is still silly and feisty 💕💕💕 #cat

This was about 11 years ago... I was about 46, and it took me so much freaking courage to post this but it led to wonderful things, including people coming to this studio from all over the country to learn about my Peony Somatic Dance. Super cool. (And it has my fave band, Spoon so there's that.)

After ten days of a virus that wasn’t horrible but kept me really tired, I finally got back to the gym this morning. I’m looking a little worn out…
