Aliya Alewine is a multidisciplinary artist, movement educator, and somatic practitioner whose work centers embodiment, consent, and creating safer spaces for people to reconnect with their bodies. She holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, a 200-hour yoga certification, CrossFit Mobility certification, and a specialization in Kurunta Yoga, and is currently completing her EroSomatic Touch certification and Somatic Sexology studies through The Amina Institute, and training as a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) at Contatto Wellness. You can find her teaching Kurunta yoga and doing photography in Knoxville, TN and Oaxaca, MX.

At the heart of Aliya’s practice is the belief that understanding our own profound desires must come first. The instructions for our path toward healing cannot be prescribed from the outside, but are found within each of us. Her role as a practitioner is not to determine that path, but to help clients name, experience, and metabolize the obstructions they encounter along the way. Through embodied consent, somatic exploration, movement, and touch, she aims to create enough spaciousness for people to listen more deeply to themselves and walk where only they know they must go.

Johnika Nixon (yeye/she/her) is a Somatic Pleasure Architect and founder of ArchitectHER Pursuite℠. Certified in EroSomatic conscious touch, consent, and cuddle facilitation through the Amina Institute, Johnika guides womxn to reclaim pleasure as their birthright, power, and a practice of liberation. Johnika is also an organizational development facilitator, career coach, and Registered Yoga Teacher with 22 years in adult education and human resources.

ArchitectHER Pursuite℠ guides high-achieving professional women to architect their luminous well-being. This is holistic, embodied work for women navigating leadership, burnout, transition, and the question: is there more to life than proving myself? We don't tear the house down. Through somatic modalities and Sankofa, Johnika uses a decolonized, trauma-aware, and deeply personal approach to guide women from the cerebral (the mind) into their soma (the body), warming what feels distant, acknowledging what's harmed the foundation, and creating space for pleasure, rest, and joy.

Johnika centers individuals of color and honors the full temple of the body, working in tandem with therapists, somatic practitioners, and wellness providers, because no one effort sustains the whole. The work of pleasure invites standards and community care. Unlearn. Reframe. Reclaim. Your pleasure is your power. Let's design something luminous together.

Born in Moscow and based in Atlanta, Kyrr Kark is a facilitator, care worker, unprofessional transsexual, and professional lover. About fifteen years ago, they began to teach about sexual health, urged on by friends and lovers who needed to know: where do you learn how to throw a play party? what's the difference between BV and a yeast infection? are there steps to accountability after rape? how can clueless bisexuals learn to flirt?

Kyrr entered The Amina Institute of Embodiment & Healing in 2024, and became a Certified Teacher in 2026. They believe that practicing authentic consent is a powerful way to be embodied, and that living in your body is worth the trouble. Described by clients as “a gentle wizard" and "very intentional,” Kyrr focuses his time on loving family and community, supporting individual clients, and building bridges in the present moment.
