Somatic Dance Workshop + Vegan Dinner

Explore, Connect, and Move with Intention
Join us for a unique and transformative workshop where dance meets mindfulness, and movement becomes a pathway to self-expression. In this somatic dance experience, guided by Leeann Ross, the focus is on feeling deeply grounded and at ease in your own body, no matter your level of experience or background. This workshop invites you to step into a space where rhythmic flow, creative expression, and personal exploration merge into a celebration of movement.
Whether you're new to dance or have years of experience, you'll find a supportive environment to connect with your body and others. Somatic dance is not about perfection; it's about being present, listening to your body's impulses, and allowing movement to be a form of meditation, release, and joy. The workshop encourages you to let go of expectations, embrace spontaneity, and discover new ways to move with awareness and freedom.
In this session, you will:
- **Ground yourself in the present moment** through mindful movement practices
- **Explore rhythmic flow** that taps into both structured and improvised dance techniques
- **Release tension** and foster ease within your body using somatic exercises
- **Connect with others** through shared movement and collective energy
- **Enhance your self-expression** by embracing a variety of dance styles and movement modalities
This workshop is designed for people of all movement backgrounds—no prior dance experience is needed. If you have ever felt drawn to move, express yourself through rhythm, or simply want to reconnect with your body in a mindful and joyful way, this session is for you.

Make space for your soul at Studio Om, your new home.

Our vision for Studio Om was to open not only a yoga meditation studio but also a conscious events lounge for curious souls and spiritual seekers.

Not many people know it, but yoga is grounded in the timeless science of Bhakti Yoga ~ wisdom for genuine self-growth, happiness, and connection to the love supreme.

It's our goal to combine these elements in a non-judgmental space where you can relax, be your authentic self, deepen your practice, and feel connected in a community of like-minded people.
