In this immersive 90-minute experience, you’ll be guided to move beyond patterns and performance into the raw intelligence of your body. Together we blend dynamic, strength-based movement with deep somatic release, using breath as a bridge between effort and ease.
You will explore:
✨ Grounding, functional strength work rooted in biomechanics (think crawling, spirals, and primal floor sequences).
✨ Breath-led movement to invite softness into the spine and hips, creating more fluidity and space.
✨ Somatic explorations to awaken deep body awareness, nourish the fascia, and soften the nervous system.
✨ A closing integration to ground, release, create space and invite deep rest.

True connective movement cannot be set apart from the exact moment the movement is made and all that is present within that moment. All that the dancer or yogi feels, experiences, and ultimately expresses. Without the embodiment, and on a deeper level, the ensoulment of the movement, the movement becomes mechanic, an empty shell. This basic principle applies to all movement types. To me, this training has all the ingredients for an ever-changing and ever-interesting practice in which not only form is important, but also a deeper level of expression and self-development.
