MOVEMENT LIBRARY
Embodiment is a gift which we celebrate through the weaving of our unique physical practice. Movement gives us the opportunity to activate this gift and become fully present and empowered.
Our movement programs are interdisciplinary and non-dogmatic. Inspired by natural movement, the martial & internal arts and yoga we gain physical awareness, resiliency, longevity. Offerings for all levels through in person journeys and an online curriculum.
When we move with freedom we are connected to our natural essence and fullest potential.

mistakes. They are highly encouraged.
