PROFESSIONAL BIO | LONG

Lily Shepard has been training in dance since the age of four. She graduated from the School of the Arts in Rochester NY, got her degree in dance from S.U.N.Y Brockport, studied abroad in Jamaica, and performed on big stages in Las Vegas for 11 years, including a Billboard Awards show with Beyoncè. As much as she loved dance as a performer—embracing your own style, expressing yourself and entertaining an audience —it wasn’t until she hit a rock bottom that she began to experience dance as a healing modality . From pretending to be confident in her body and happy with her life to actually loving all of it, intuitive movement has not only opened this door for Lily but for hundreds of women who she's guided back into their bodies.

We’re all called to serve, and her approach is dance. She moved to Austin, Texas in 2015 and taught dance fitness for several years in gyms and corporate offices including Apple, Dell, and Facebook. A strong advocate of giving back to underserved communities, she led workshops with Girls Rock Austin, Girls Empowerment Network, the Urban Health Expo, and more.

She started a modality called Twerk and Burn, which added more sensuality, freedom, and hip movement to basic fitness routines. Then she realized that the intimate after-class conversations were more than venting sessions. They were indications that women needed to do more than laugh and burn calories then go back home to the same dissatisfaction. So she stepped away from choreography and into MovFi—the art of moving with feminine intention. In 2021, Lily was named Emerging Boss Lady of the Year and was also named an Extraordinary Woman of 2022 by the Austin American-Statesman newspaper.

As an Embodiment Coach and Pleasure Advocate , Lily creates space for women to move their bodies without judgement while offering opportunities for them to address their traumas and struggles and reclaim their power. She applies decades of dance training; 200 hours of certified trauma-informed yoga instruction; and her personal experience of learning the power of surrender and flow through MovFi in such a way that it births the confidence and trust that’s necessary to design a life that looks good and feels even better.
