About Empress Ouroboros

Step into a space designed to celebrate your softness, your strength, your sensuality. At Empress Ouroboros, we offer a curated blend of dance and self-discovery through movement. Whether you’re here for a heels class, a transformative sound bath, or to simply reconnect with your body — you belong.

About

Our space is dedicated to transformation — through movement, ritual, and deep connection to self.

We offer a range of classes and experiences that awaken sensuality, build strength, and invite presence. From heels and floorwork to sound baths, embodiment workshops, and energy healing, everything we do is designed to bring you back to your body and back to your power.

This is more than just a studio — it's a sanctuary. A place where you can move freely, feel deeply, and explore your edges. Our community is welcoming, intentional, and rooted in the belief that dance is a pathway to healing and personal alchemy.

Whether you come for a weekly class or a transformational course, you'll find space here to breathe, release, express, and rise.

Welcome to Empress Ouroboros

About Our Founder

About Our Founder

About Our Founder

Karie Boyd

I teach transformative courses using modalities of a boss babe mentality, spirituality, sensuality, spiritual psychology, and energy medicine.
I'm ground-up, self-made, or divinely designed.
My commitment to a higher truth and my belief in possibilities that transcend probabilities has been in place from birth; you could say it's my karmic destiny or dharma.
On this wheel of life, I'm a believer, not a seeker, and in that belief, I have an inner knowing that we all have the opportunity to serve as a lighthouse for others.
Everyone has the inner truth and power to walk a path of freedom, joy, and abundance. Yet we all need a soul friend to witness us and reflect to us what is possible—to reflect what we may have forgotten or what is deeply hidden under the layers of half-truths and lies that we've been conditioned to believe.

I've created Empress Ouroboros because I believe in transformation and I believe in the power of the feminine aspect of the Divine—an aspect that has been suppressed for far too long. As I witness your transformation, I witness myself deepening into my truth and into my purpose.

For the past 17 years, I’ve been an advocate. I knew I was going to be an attorney from around the age of 5. I grew up in the Bay Area and played in the streets of San Francisco when I should have been going to school. Let's face it, it was more fun—and the magic of the city sparked a life force and a future promise in me: a promise to return to the city with more knowledge than I had before, and a promise to come back and light the way for others who grew up just like me—with broken homes and broken hearts.

The Ouroboros is the sacred snake that eats its own tail as a symbol of true transformation.
With energy medicine, we start our medicine wheel in the direction of the South—the Serpent, the one who sheds its skin softly and all at once.
At my studio, you will shed the skin of your past and transform on your own medicine wheel through the journey of the soul, ending in the East—the Eagle/Condor—where you will fly wing to wing with Spirit on this grand journey called Life.
Life Force Energy is energy that empowers true transformation—the inner understanding that it is not the destination but the majestic journey that holds significant value.

At Empress Ouroboros, you will meet instructors and teachers who embody the principles and practices of our feminine philosophy. Whether you take one of our curated low-flow pole classes or spend the weekend in one of our workshops that will teach you how to vision like a vixen—you will come out in greater alignment with the Empress within!

I look forward to growing in consciousness with you as I witness your own transformation in our courses and classes. Welcome to our tribe of Believers and Transcenders! Anything is possible Baby Love!!
