About Majia Lee
Hi, I’m Majia Lee, founder of Embodi Instinctual Movement.
I hold doctoral-level training in somatic (body-based) psychology, with research focused on how the nervous system, imagination, and lived experience shape physical health, movement behavior, creativity, and ethical decision-making. Through this work, I came to see that many contemporary movement and fitness approaches improve performance while quietly undermining regulation—training bodies to execute tasks while overriding instinctual signals.
Embodi Instinctual Movement offers a different orientation.
This work uses movement and play to support physical fitness and physiological health while restoring relationship with the body’s native intelligence. Participants build strength, endurance, coordination, and resilience, but do so in ways that strengthen neuroception, regulation, connection, and creative capacity rather than suppressing them.
The approach bridges neurobiology, physiology, somatic psychology, and imaginal and archetypal frameworks, translating them into practical, embodied practices. Movement here is not about pushing through, optimizing output, or imposing discipline at any cost. It is about training in ways that are adaptive, sustainable, and aligned with how living nervous systems actually organize.
At its core, Embodi Instinctual Movement addresses the mind–body split by restoring bodily jurisdiction—so physical strength and health develop alongside attunement, discernment, and the capacity to meet complexity without collapse or compulsion.

Embodi Instinctual Movement doesn’t just reconnect mind and body...
…it restores the intelligence that already knows how to move.
…it restores bodily jurisdiction and instinctual signals.
…it returns movement to process, not performance.
This is an invitation to move in ways that reestablish relationship with your body’s innate intelligence—its capacity to discern safety from threat, regulate, and respond to what life hands you—so movement becomes a source of orientation rather than override.
Come move in ways that restore bodily jurisdiction and reawaken the intelligence already organizing you.
