“Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement.”
― Aldous Huxley, The Art of Seeing
Flashback:
You're watching Star Wars for the first time. Young Luke Skywalker, while being mentored by Master Yoga, feels The Force, yet he is still bound by illusion and finds it 'impossible' to recover his X-Wing Fighter from the Dagobah swamp using his mind. Yoga, frustrated by Luke's lack of vision realizes he must SHOW Luke it is possible. This opens many doors for Luke and Yoda's transmissions are then received for Luke to become the Jedi Knight he is destined to be.
Familiar Scenario:
You've just executed 523 roundhouse, front, spinning back, ax, front side kicks combined; followed by 38 Hip Rolls to escape a deft head lock, 89 scissor sweeps and tapped-out from every rear naked choke. You crawled like a "Portal Lizard" breathed like the "Iceman" and ran in nature to get fresh air, expand your views and touch uneven energy-giving earth. Needless to say, you're worked out!
Despite 'stretching' warming up/warming down, your connective tissue holds the 'memory' of the tension and restriction within your body. Not just from today's workout, but from a lifetime of patterns including, though not excluding trauma.
You feel it in your hips, your SITS bones, your lower back, your jaw, the clenching in your sleep, in how you digest food, in how you defecate, in how you copulate. You feel it when emotions want to come yet meet suppression and you feel it when your belt is on the line. How about freeing that tension up? How about learning to move your body with your elegant mind (like Luke eventually realizes….also think Neo in Matrix here) and using this freedom, skill set and fluidity to meet your next opponent? How about integrating the spiritual essence of warrior-ship into your martial arts practice?
During Integrity in the Octagon: Alignment Immersion for Mixed Martial Artists, your Alignment Immersion Team: Tuaca Kelly, Developer of The Alignment and Lucie van Leeuwen, Founder of Yoga2go, Align4Wellness will aid you with:
– Releasing stored tension and trauma from the body
– Increasing range of movement
– Experience your hips, psoas, spine anew
– Using the 'newly freed space' to open your avenues of intuitive and multidimensional perception, awareness and more
– Transmuting 'mental' telegraphing: the intention that alerts your opponent where you're going even before your body conveys it
– Awakening and enhancing intuitive perception and awareness of your surroundings and body
– Empower you with tools for recovery between bouts
Like marital arts, these skills permeate far beyond the mat: they make you more excellent everywhere you grow!
While you are developing your skills as martial artists or MMA competitor, or dreaming of the day Dana White gives you a contract to the UFC, or competing against or training with your hero for a title card, develop a multidimensional grounded, focused, fluid, healthy, compassionate, intuitive you! ^i^

Your Teachers
Tuaca with the Temple Guardians.
Ready to work?
Tuaca Kelly, Founder of Healing Ultimate Fighters, Developer of The Alignment, master healer, medical intuitive, spiritual medium and teacher Is born to inspire!
At the age of four Tuaca had a profound all encompassing multidimensional sensory experience that directed her attention to recognize the sacred relationship with her Divine Guides, the Universe from which she came, and her life purpose. This precious convergence is what she refers to [as] becoming "conscious of consciousness" and it encouraged her to own the experiences she was having as she began to discover (or not take for granted) skills she possessed and was destined to cultivate, attain mastery of and impart. This intimate and sacred training would teach and empower Tuaca with wisdom and transmissions to heal herself and others. Intrinsically connected with the sacred fields of creation that inform the natural, musical and mathematical patterns that engender life itself. Tuaca, while honouring the free will and journey of the soul, has the capacity to clear, restructure and align the divine blueprint. Her "XD" (more than 2 or 3-dimensional) multidimensional energy transmissions communicate with each person’s multidimensional body giving it instructions to self-correct, heal, evolve and be free, as well as connect to their own potential. Global brain coherence - a correlate to rising intelligence, learning ability, alertness and reaction time - is realised during sessions and this phenomenon has been documented scientifically in a European research laboratory using sophisticated EGG-spectral analysis. Likewise observed, experienced and scientifically measured in the brain research lab, Tuaca has an incredible ability to transform trauma by completely changing the behavior of the energy or energy patterns that harbors it. This 'free' energy is then directed to the entire organism to use efficiently and for other human tasks such as healing, sleeping, movement, thinking and feeling. Tuaca also credits her mother for asking her as a toddler: "What kind of vibes to you get?" in nearly every situation, as another valuable boot camp of sorts in critical-thinking and intuitive discernment. Additionally, Tuaca serves as a guest teacher/presenter at world renown Science and NonDuality Conference (SANDS) – an international gathering where prominent scientists, philosophers, teachers, artists and audiences from all over the world come together to create the new paradigm of spirituality, the latest science and the ancient teachings of non-duality together. Originally from San Francisco, CA, the second-generation Irish-American returned to her European roots and is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Additional Education:

Kennedy University – Pleasant Hill, California Pursued: Master of Arts in Consciousness and Transformative Studies Esalen Institute – Big Sur, California My combined 2.5 year residency at Esalen afforded many valuable experiences for which I am eternally grateful.

Lucie van Leeuwen
Born in New Zealand, Lucie has been living in the Netherlands since 1996 and has been studying movement, massage and yoga since 1998. Her specialty is Nutritious Movement™ a biomechanical model of wellness taught by Katy Bowman MS; Critical Alignment Therapy a form of yoga developed by Gert van Leeuwen and Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) developed by David Berceli. During the past 17-years she has studied with many wonderful teachers who have deepened her understanding of movement and wellness. These wellness systems are applied within the paradigm of yoga & natural movement, which she teaches with delight and passion at her Yoga2go: The Art of Movement school in Castricum, Netherlands. Lucie is continuously furthering her education with Katy Bowman and is inspired by the work of: Steven Porges Polyvagal Theory, Bruce Lipton and the Wim Hof Method to name a few… In 2015, biologist and neuroscientist Riccardo Cassiani Ingoni, Ph.D. had the foresight to introduce Lucie to the work of Tuaca. They have since found a righteous and intuitive collaborative flow with the shared appreciation of each others understanding of releasing trauma from the body, characteristics of the nervous system, the importance of human movement, and the boundless passion and determination to help people become the best versions of themselves.
