Class Description:
Watch the trailer here:
A trauma informed, mindful-movement-based embodiment practice. The ultimate self-care tool!
This class is an opportunity to get in touch with your body's innate wisdom, reclaim healing movements and gestures, learn somatic resources, become friends with you body, and move in a way that feels GOOD!!!
In each 60 min session you will be guided INTO your body through sensation and non-judgemental awareness. You will then be invited into movement through a series of prompts to help you start exploring your own organic movement impulses. This practice is NOT about how movement LOOKS, it's about how movement FEELS.
Each session will end with re-integration, and there will be a few minutes at the end for participants to share their experiences, comments or questions if they so choose.
Some sessions will include some psychoeducation and somatic resource exploration, others will be purely guided movement practice. Almost all sessions will include beautiful music.
