We are culturally conditioned to “think” our bodies. We are taught that our bodies should be analyzed, fixed, managed, and improved. It is time to shift this perspective.

 

Your body is home to all that you are, allowing you to experience, feel, and connect. And your body is continuously receiving input and communicating through sensation and movement, offering you a language and pathway to know and experience yourself from the inside out.​

​

​

The Turquoise Body Foundational Series offers a mindful and intentional return home.​ In this foundational workshop, we begin at the root with the feet and pelvis. It is a guided, non-judgmental container within which you will learn to sense and connect through muscles, movement, stillness, reflection, and embodied presence.

 

The format of the workshop cycles through my 5-step Somatic Pathway™

Move·Sense·Reflect·Understand·Expand

​

In this workshop we will explore:​

• Conscious Activation: Movement and isolated muscle activation designed to develop sensing awareness, create a more detailed sensory map of your body, and explore the muscular foundations of stability. 

• Integrated Flow: Experience how grounding and movement begin in the feet, travel through the pelvis, and translate into the integrated flow of the whole body.

• Somatic Release: Movement explorations that invite you to notice patterns of ease and restriction, introducing possibilities for greater ease and postural organization.

• Awareness and Reflection: Opportunities for stillness, written reflection, and optional sharing to help give language to what you sense and deepen your understanding of your embodied experience.

• Becoming the Embodied Observer: Practices that explore remaining connected to your internal sensing awareness while seeing, hearing, moving, and engaging with the world around you.​

​

There will be opportunities to share your experience in group discussion, but sharing is always an invitation, never a requirement.
