Are you ready to challenge your capacity to enhance your sensations and body awareness, and explore movement from within your body? Join me for a 90' movement-based session, where you will navigate various dance exercises and group activities blindfolded. This workshop is designed to enhance your awareness, coordination, and trust in your body. No experience is necessary; just come with an open mind and comfortable clothing.

About the class:

The class begins with a simple breathing exercise, followed by movement exercises inspired by somatic practices such as Feldenkrais and yoga. Those short routines will help you develop spinal alignment, as well as coordination between the upper and lower body. To follow, I invite you to move through improvisation tools, finding liberation within our bodies while exploring new ways of moving. During the past 5 years of practising dance and meditation, I have noticed the benefits of dancing with eyes closed for myself first, and I therefore invite participants to practice the same during my session through the use of a blindfold. Surrendering to the body's natural appetite for self-expression while reducing the sight distractions helps us navigate everyday life challenges with awareness and a sense of liberation. During the class, I aim for the student to feel more connected to their body and to regulate their nervous system through conscious dancing and breathing. I always take the last few minutes of the session to find stillness and practice gratitude to our bodies.

On Movement:

Movement ultimately is a form of Love in itself.

It helps us connect with the unknown parts of our bodies. Through improvised movement we digest the intangible, ineffable truth of who we are.

Love and movement have both something to do with not knowing. The more you try to define it, the more you separate yourself from it.

Something words can’t achieve, movement can… So someone could say that dance, love and truth are somehow the same thing: impossible to grasp, only consistently flowing in the eternity of the present moment.
