I am Ikue Ueno, Fascia Oracle™ & Dance Embodiment Mentor based in Vancouver.
My work bridges fascial embodiment, somatic awareness, movement medicine, and professional dance. Through fascia-focused movement, breath, nervous system regulation, and embodied presence, I guide people back into connection with their bodies and authentic expression.
As a professional dancer, choreographer, and embodiment guide with 25+ years of experience, I help people release tension, protective patterns, and disconnection through movement that supports softening, mobility, emotional release, and self-awareness.
I teach the longest-running Human Garage Fascial Maneuvers class in Vancouver and work worldwide through one-on-one sessions, workshops, Instagram Lives, online education, and mentorship.
My mission is to help people embody their true essence through movement, fascia, creativity, and presence.

🌿 A Meaningful Week with Alana Joy Newton
I’m so excited to welcome Alana Joy Newton, lead author of A Tapestry of Grief: The Weaving of Loss and Love, for two special opportunities to connect with our community.

I AM IKUE.
Not because I have become someone else.
Because I finally stopped hiding who I have always been.
Every season has asked me to trust my body a little more.
To soften.
To speak.
To lead.
To embody.
The letters don’t simply spell my name—they remind me of the values I choose to live every day.
I — Inspiring
K — Kind
U — Unapologetic
E — Empowered
This is about living in such alignment that your presence speaks before your words ever need to.
This is the IKU Way. ❤️
Move with me ✨

One of the messages I received after today’s live deeply touched my heart.
She wrote:
“I wish I had your affirmation written down somewhere so I could come back to it every day.”
That was the moment I realized this practice needed a home beyond my live videos.
So today, I’m sharing my Fascia Oracle™ Affirmation.
Every morning, I begin by placing my right hand on my heart and my left hand on the top of my head. Over time, this has become my way of arriving—bringing my heart, mind, body, fascia, and all parts of myself into the same conversation.
It has become more than a ritual.
It has become my signature.
This affirmation reminds me that healing isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about remembering who I already am and creating harmony within.
May these words invite you to pause…
To say hello to every part of yourself.
To remember that you are enough.
And to choose to be here.
💛 If this resonates with you, save this post and come back to it whenever your body needs a gentle reminder.

✨ Awareness is the beginning. Permission is what allows transformation.
Awareness helps us see what has always been there.
But awareness alone doesn’t create change.
Transformation begins the moment we stop resisting what we already know and allow the body to respond in a new way.
Permission is not giving up.
Permission is creating enough safety for your nervous system to soften, your fascia to release, and your body to choose something different.
These beautiful suiren (water lilies / 睡蓮) are from my dad’s garden in Japan. 🌸
As I looked at them today, I realized why they speak to me so deeply.
Unlike the lotus, which rises above the water, the water lily lives with the water. It doesn’t escape its environment—it learns to float gracefully within it.
The water lily doesn’t bloom because it tries harder.
It blooms because it no longer resists the water that carries it.
Maybe our healing is the same.
Perhaps awareness is the light.
Permission is the opening.
And transformation is simply what we’ve always been waiting to become.
✨ Awareness is the beginning. Permission is what allows transformation.

My years of practice live in my body.
Every class I’ve taught, every one-on-one session, and every hour spent observing bodies has refined how I guide people today.
My experience is real. My perception has been shaped through thousands of hours of showing up, listening, and living this work.
I trust what I know because I have lived it.
I don’t need to prove my mastery.
My experience speaks through my presence.
I teach from lived embodiment, not performance.
My clients don’t need perfection—they need someone fully present.
What is uniquely mine cannot be replicated.
Come move with me. 🤍

Boat days, good people, and summer sunshine. ☀️🛥️💙
I got to go to my first boat party of the year last weekend, and it was such a beautiful reminder to simply enjoy life.
Lately, I’ve been creating, teaching, and pouring so much into my work that taking time to laugh, dance, soak up the sun, and connect with wonderful people felt incredibly nourishing.
These moments remind me that joy doesn’t have to wait. It can be part of the journey.
Here’s to a summer filled with meaningful connections, spontaneous adventures, and memories that stay with us long after the sun sets. 🌊✨
If you’d like to experience my work, join me for a Fascial Maneuvers class in Vancouver or book a one-on-one Fascial Release session through the link in my bio. I’d love to move with you.

Some of the most beautiful things in life are invisible.
Yesterday in ballet class, I realized something.
When I fully trusted my supporting leg, my free leg could finally fly.
That moment reminded me that freedom isn’t created by the leg in the air.
It’s created by the leg on the ground.
The stronger the foundation, the greater the freedom.
This isn’t just true in dance.
It’s true in our bodies.
It’s true in our relationships.
It’s true in our business.
It’s true in life.
We often focus on what people can see.
But our greatest freedom is built by what they can’t.
✨ Don’t ignore your foundation. That’s where your freedom begins.

☀️ Our first outdoor Fascial Maneuvers class of the year! 🌳
Last Sunday, we took our practice outside and gathered under the trees at Dude Chilling Park.
There is something special about moving fascia in nature.
The fresh air.
The open sky.
The sounds of the city blending with the sounds of birds.
The feeling of soft grass beneath your feet.
As we moved together, breathed together, and released tension together, I was reminded that healing doesn’t always happen inside four walls.
Sometimes the body remembers more easily when it is surrounded by nature.
Everyone left feeling lighter, more connected, and grateful to be moving outdoors again.
Summer Fascia Season has officially begun. 🌿✨
Have you ever noticed how different your body feels when you move outside?

Feeling is not weakness.
Feeling is information.
Feeling is your compass.
The heart doesn’t need to hurry.
When I trust what I truly feel,
my next step reveals itself. 🌊
We live in a world that encourages us to move faster, think harder, and override what our bodies are telling us.
But your body has been communicating with you all along.
Sometimes the most courageous thing you can do isn’t to push through.
It’s to pause.
To soften.
To listen.
Your feelings are not obstacles to overcome.
They are signals guiding you toward what is true for you.
The more you trust your body’s wisdom, the more naturally your next step unfolds.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to force.
Simply remember.
💗 What is your body trying to tell you today?
