12 week series (offered in Spring April-June and Fall Sept-Nov)
In these classes we explore different areas and aspects of our bodyminds, through experiential anatomy and somatic movement, in order to discover our resilience, strength, calm, love, connection to self and joy! We will offer you sensing, moving, feeling and somatic dance practices to connect with both your physical and emotional body and wellbeing.
What will we be doing?
Each week after we physically explore and open our bodies in particular areas and then integrate that opening into the whole body, thereby also releasing tension and sequencing energy, we will then share practices that support you to feel into the emotional connections you have to this part of your body and notice any shifts in your emotional experience as we go!
The Movement Arc’s Somatic Movement Classes are open to anyone!
We will also be exploring the “Basic 6 plus 2” movement exercises developed by Irmgaard Bartenieff, pioneering physical therapist and dance therapist combined, as well as the Principles of the Bartenieff Fundamentals. Once registered, we will send you a weekly recurring Zoom link.
This series is co-taught by two Movement Arc instructors: Hana Kamea Kemble and Amanda Penaloza Banks
Offering rejuvenation through embodied practices!
