This class series will focus on movement and consciousness explored from the direct experience and action of our muscles. Movement initiated from our muscles can be automatic, spontaneous, and specific. Moving from our muscles can bring vitality, strength, flexibility, flow, and ease, and inform and engage a whole-body response through our fascial matrix. Through hands on and movement let's explore how.

Somatic practice can open the door to radically inclusive movement potentials. Somatic practice is an integrated and embodied approach to movement, bodies and consciousness which can be practiced by anybody irregardless of age, ability, disability, or gender. Somatic practice invites a slowing down to feel. We learn to sense and initiate movement from anywhere inside of ourselves. Through practice we learn that somatics is not only about creating flexible mobile bodies, but flexible minds. This creates a very generative place for movement exploration and dance making.

This class is for movers, dancers, performers, yoga practitioners, bodyworkers, occupational and physical therapists, somatic psychotherapists, infant/child educators, and those from other body-mind disciplines interested in development, cellular consciousness, movement, and mindfulness.
