What will we do?
In this 60 minute live-streaming version of our in-person gatherings, we move continuously to music and in silence:
Starting with healing visualizations
Moving into full bodied movement with music
Closing with time to connect and absorb the nutrients of our time together
What do I need to participate?
It is easy! Put on your comfy clothing that is good for movement and join us on Zoom!
Prepare your space -- a clear floor and some space to extend your arms and legs is great.
You may want to bring water, a journal or a yoga mat but they are not necessary.
Take care of you! If we are doing something that is not right for you or your body, adapt it to what is best for you. Your self-care is your top priority and you are in charge of your experience and your body.
