Being more comfortable, natural, and relaxed begins with connection to the body. Being with the body, you are supported to be yourself.
Principles: Body Comfortable, No Judgment
This class is for anyone who is interested in being more comfortable and connected in their body, including people who don’t necessarily have a lot of experience with bodywork, movement, or somatic practices. It is also for people who want to feel more comfortable in connection with other people. Every human being has a body, and it is through connection with this body that we experience ourselves and our deepest connection with life. We will be working individually, in pairs, and as a group. Please dress comfortably and wear socks, and come prepared for light movement, touch, and bodywork exchange.
- $20 per class
- Open to all levels
