About this Event
Take some time to reconnect, give our mind and bodies some much-needed TLC!
We will ease ourselves into a gentle hour of breath and movement where your queerness is totally welcome. Hosted by Bella Blythe Movement - each session will introduce you to soothing and relaxing movement and breathing techniques.
Bella’s class takes a restorative approach and they do not use any hands on adjustments during the session. We want to ensure a safe, relaxing environment for getting back in touch with our bodies, where you can be your full self. This is a casual drop-in class.
Sessions will run for 60 mins.
