The Movement is the Medicine

In this practice, we seek to create a container where each individual can feel safe to explore and reconnect with the language of their own bodies. To get curious, to take up space, and to reconnect to our body’s own powerful intuition.

Through freeform movement, we give the body space to explore and get curious with the many ways it can move and express its own miraculous intelligence. This incredible practice allows us to get out of our minds, and reconnect with the wisdom of our bodies. We seek to create an environment that encourages gentle surrender, flowing with wherever the music takes you.

Freeform movement helps to regulate the Nervous System, allowing space for the body to gently release any energy that has been stored deep inside the tissues. Vocalizing through sound is also encouraged + welcomed, as it helps the body to fully release anything that is still being held somatically. It can feel intimidating at first, but over time, the practice truly feels like coming home to ourselves. It is an act of self-empowerment and liberation.

We seek to create a truly supportive, safe, and judgement-free space for physical exploration and embodiment. There is no previous dance experience necessary. Come as you are, take what you need. Take back your personal power & body agency. Join us to surrender to the rhythm and let your body flow through the elements!
