About ShaGa
A Living Movement Practice
In ShaGa, we move from our body, the ultimate refuge. We allow our bodies to become our teacher and our healer.
ShaGa is a living movement practice of self-discovery, healing, and awakening to our deeper resources. It opens us up to the capacity to experience movement as a source of healing and vitality. We discover that by inhabiting our bodies more fully, we are able to more fully inhabit our lives.
ShaGa is about Healing.
We give ourselves permission to find deeper resources that expand our movement potential, reduce tension and atrophy in the body, and illuminate paths towards personal transformation. We take time to listen to our pain on a molecular level and discover layers of guidance. We discover the healing power of working at a very low volume of effort, so we can go places where pleasure in the movement is awakened.
“I feel so grateful to have discovered your important work. I’ve tried traditional psychotherapy & yoga to work through c-PTSD but nothing has really felt like healing until I tried ShaGa. Thank you so much for making this accessible. You are a true gift to the community & the world. I left dancing for so many years as I struggled with substance abuse, and I will never again underestimate how important it is to me.”

ShaGa is about Permission.
We take time to be curious and to listen to the body. We practice giving ourselves permission to follow our own, unique guidance rather than telling it what to do. As we encourage our innate, inner rhythms, we experience freedom inside our movement and inside our minds while connecting our bodies to our imaginations. We give ourselves a physical pathway to experience and re-experience ourselves. We welcome whatever arises as a guide. We refuse nothing and discover we can enjoy everything.
ShaGa was developed by ShaLeigh Comerford throughout her life and career as a social worker, intuitive, advocate, survivor, dancer, choreographer, and teacher. Over the last sixteen years, the knowledge and experience she gained has been gradually transformed into a living movement practice, which now together form ShaGa.
In Their Own Words
ShaGa can be many things for many people. The practice offers individuals an opportunity to be in dialogue with their unique, inner longings. As Founder and Creator ShaLeigh Comerford says, “In ShaGa, the depth of your question reveals the depth of your answer.” Hear what our ShaGa students are saying.
