Tired of feeling pressured to look a certain way?
Struggling to enjoy the gym
even though you know exercise is good for you?
Life gets crazy busy, and it’s hard to find time for movement?
Do we really need to subscribe to the idea of
"No pain, no gain," "hard work pays off," or "no struggle, no progress"?
My answer is NO! WE DON'T NEED TO FOLLOW THIS HARSH MINDSET
Our body is a sacred vehicle and a source of so much wisdom.
Yet, finding safe spaces to truly listen to and honor that wisdom can be challenging.
Yes, we go to the gym, run, swim, dance, or attend fitness classes,
but too often these activities are driven by guilt or a sense of obligation rather than the simple joy of moving.
In daily life, we tend to force our body to match the frenzied pace of the thought-addicted mind.
How about having an opportunity to do the opposite?
Through breath, movement, touch, sound, and play,
we quiet the mind, aligning it with the natural rhythms around us.
Stress and tension fade as we return to the peace of the present moment.
Touch in our culture and societies is most of the time associated with sexuality, intimacy or violence. But touch could be simply communicating to each others using our bodies rather than our words. Playful movement brings joy, creativity, and connection to our lives. It helps us step out of the seriousness of life and enjoy moving our bodies in free and fun ways, like jumping, dancing, or roughhousing. This kind of free-form, playful movement reduces stress, lifts our mood, and helps us feel more in tune with ourselves. It also brings people closer together, building trust and breaking down barriers. By moving playfully, we reconnect with the energy and curiosity that make life more vibrant.
Get the issues out of the tissues !
“Hard times require furious dancing." ~ Alice Walker
Can You Imagine ...
If our community offered safe spaces
where we are encouraged to move exactly the way we want.
We won’t be judged, laughed at, or told we’re doing it wrong.
As our inhibitions fade and our comfort grows,
we’ll discover the joy and healing power of movement.
We’ll begin to feel more confident in our bodies and embrace radical self-acceptance.
To move is to be alive. To move together is to truly connect.
Around the world, dance and music come hand in hand.
As a universal language, music speaks directly to our hearts.
In comparison, words could be clumsy, awkward, rough-edged,
with potential for misunderstanding.
Music can guide us into sacred space,
calm our busy mind and encourage our hearts to soften and open.
It can soothe and heal, inspire and awaken us.
Let’s reconnect with your inner child and embrace its playful spirit !
"Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives." – Brené Brown
As adults, we often forget the delight of moving freely, without purpose or expectation.
Explore moving in a freeing and playful way, with others craving soulful connections.
Those classes/workshops foster creativity, trust, and body awareness in a supportive and safe environment.
Discover a freeform movement practice where you can dance without judgment, structure, or choreography. It’s a space to connect with your body, express emotions, and move to the rhythm of music in whatever way feels natural.
"I believe that dance is the best way to express your heart, your soul, and your imagination. Movement is everything."
Twyla Tharp (choreographer)
