ALL AGES

Reconnect ground and flow into the New Year. This workshop is designed for those seeking to strengthen their connection with themselves their health and their sense of identity through mindful movement.

2. Open Dance & Integration:

An open dance session where you’ll be free to mix match and experiment with the concepts taught flowing to a wide variety of beats and rhythms that evoke different emotions and inspire movement.

We’ll finish with a closing circle meditation and stillness to ground and integrate the experience supporting your transition back to everyday life.

Element focus for this session: Earth

The element of Earth represents a grounded foundational container that holds space and creates pillars of structure in our lives.

In this workshop we will begin low and slow tuning into the internal architecture of our bodies that holds everything in place. From this awareness we will begin to explore movement 

using straight lines that convey directness focus and intention. Then we will expand towards creative expression by contrasting structured order with playful chaos.
