Reclaim Your Body
LIVE WORKSHOP WITH TYESE WORTHAM
A 3-Step Framework
for Living Well with Chronic Illness
Sept. 1, 2026 at 5 pm PT (8 pm ET)
As a black, invisibly disabled female body navigating chronic illness, I will introduce you to a spectrum of movement practices rooted in body liberation and cultural wisdom.
In this judgment-free space, you are encouraged to meet your body exactly as it is, while exploring gentle movement practices, reflective journaling, meaningful community connections, and restorative exercises that support whole body healing.
Here are your gentle, accessible takeaways.
You will…
Learn how to feel safe and supported in your body again through stillness, breath, and gentle awareness. Using practices like Joyful Downloads and the Body::Breath Scan, you’ll explore how stillness can become a place of rest, reset, and reconnection instead of a place of fear and pressure.
Discover your personal access points for liberatory movement. Through the Access Points Assessment, you will learn how to meet your body where it is, focus on what you CAN do, and move with forgiveness and self-trust.
Connect with cultural movement practices as medicine for your body, mind, and spirit. Through Culture Movement Grounding, you will explore how rhythm, tradition, and ancestral and culturally rooted practices can help you reclaim joy, identity, and embodied liberation.
Join me and take your next gentle step toward living a fulfilling, loving, and thriving life despite your diagnosis.

Greetings!
I’m Tyese Wortham.
For the past 20 plus years I've committed my life work to cultivating safe, inclusive spaces for black and brown folks to thrive.
As a lifelong dancer, I nearly lost this vital part of myself during a chronic illness journey that began with a tick bite. After 25 years, I finally learned I had been living with Lyme disease. Drawing on more than two decades of equity work in the arts, I now shine a light on Lyme and other multi-systemic chronic illnesses in queer, trans, and BIPOC communities.
My approach weaves cultural movement traditions as medicine, community connections as care, and joyful practices as healing. By blending folkloric, spiritual, and performative traditions of the African diaspora with integrative and functional healing techniques, I created Thriving With Lyme—an alternative pathway to health that helped me reclaim my power and agency, and now support others in doing the same.

What clients are saying…
Jetta Martin, East Bay, CA
“My level of exhaustion is so high. It’s been years of being really, really tired. [And during] your workshop, I realized that I need a reset or a reboot. It can be a gentle refresh for the things that you can’t see or don’t notice about yourself or your body. It was a very profound shift and I appreciated how gentle and held I felt.”
Beatrice Thomas, Vallejo, CA
“When I don’t have this, I have more anxiety, pain, increased muscle tension. When I first started doing it, I was tired on Saturdays after class, but then I felt great and the next two days I had more energy.”
