What is Contact Improvisation?

There are so many ways to define this practice: movement research, listening, focused play, connecting, sensing, space, and support.

 Spring season means opening up to the new as the new. Grounding down to rise up. Expanding to our fullest expression.

PRIVATE SESSION

personalized mind/body practices to support your groove

Private Sessions are a time and space for your whole self.
Depending on where the practice goes, I take the role of a guide in leading supportive exercises (somatic, mobility, strength), an active witness, an interpreter, assist, an accountability partner, and always listening support.

practices offered:  asana  (physical yoga postures with adaptations as seen appropriate), prana (breathing), meditation, mindfulness, contemplative, somatic, functional fitness, and dance training modalities

The first session is where we get to know each other and I can get a gauge on your needs, desires, and goals.  I will take you through a sample session on possibilities.
