This Nava Movement workshop series explores movement through the qualities of earth, water, fire, air, and ether. This offering weaves elemental breath practices with guided movement and improvisation, inviting participants to embody each element as a source of grounding, expression, release, and renewal.Nava Movement is rooted in the ancient wisdom of dance as a healing art and transformative practice. It offers a path to experiencing dance as both art and medicine — a holistic way of tending to the mind, body, heart, and spirit.
We open each session with grounding practices, movement rituals, and elemental breathwork. Our practice is guided by breath and somatic awareness and draws inspiration from movements found in nature including the movement of circles, spirals, and cycles. Through guided improvisation, moving in unison (flocking”), cathartic release, and embodied intention, we reconnect with the innate wisdom of the body. On the dance floor, we move like water, experiencing gratitude and humility, embracing both subtlety and intensity in our movement expressions.
Nava Movement offers an integrative space where we can explore dance as a pathway to deeper connection — with ourselves, one another, and the wider universe.
This 5-week series can be taken as individual classes or all together.
