So often, we push through life—striving, straining, and forcing our way forward. But it doesn’t need to be that way. In this workshop, we’ll explore how moving with less effort and greater ease can transform how we move through life. We’ll explore the gentle movements of Somatic Insights as a path to greater ease, clarity, and presence in movement and life. You’ll leave feeling lighter, centered, and more connected to the wisdom of your body.

Here at Conscious Movements, we'll draw inspiration from the seasons. Spring is a time of opening to the oneness you share with all beings, your heart's desires, and the incredible potential within you. From the standpoint of the physical body, we'll explore integrating and refining your capacity to move and feel into your rib basket, upper back, and shoulders.
What You’ll Need
Wear comfortable clothing that you can easily move in.
A water bottle to stay hydrated so those neurons can fire with ease.

It depends…
The Pay From The Heart classes are a live experience with no replay offered.
The Drop-In classes are recorded, you'll have access to the replay for 6-14 days.

You’ll want to wear clothes that you can move in and have space to move. Most workshops involve a bit of walking, sitting, and lying down.
When it comes time to lie down, you can opt to use the floor (ideal) with a yoga mat and a heavy blanket or beach towel on top. Or, you can do the practice in bed. Choose what’s right for you and the space that you have.
I’ll also make sure that you have access to my Home Practice Guide so that you know exactly what you need ahead of time.
“The present is the time in which we live, and what we do with our present selves is the most important thing. For the past is carried into the future through our present selves; what we do now is the most important factor for tomorrow. If we do nothing to change our emotional pattern of behavior, tomorrow will resemble yesterday in most details except the date. The past is history, the future only a guess—this present makes them both what they are.”
—Moshe Feldenkrais, The Potent Self
