What does freedom mean? Imagine living without being held back by past burdens or worries about the future. Often, we’re stuck in situations that keep us from moving forward. Maybe we stay in jobs we don’t like, can’t get over a tough breakup, or just feel lost. We end up thinking freedom equals more time, more money, or no commitment.
Life Without Agenda
But what if real freedom is none of those things, but rather the simplicity of life without any agenda? What if freedom is to understand that all those stories will keep playing out unless we step out of them and see ourselves and life in the reality of existence? We don’t need to earn our freedom; we already are free.What is keeping us stuck is all of those stories that are held in the body, all of those voices whispering into our ears that something is impossible, that we are not worthy, or that life will not be there for us.
Stories in Our Bodies
Our body holds stories from our childhood, our ancestors, and even our culture. It is shown in the way we move, in our structure, and our posture. In this class, we will explore what it truly means to expand from those stories and step into the free energy that is not only available but is innately ours.
The body-oriented and mindfulness-centered approach lies on two principles- the first is that the body and the psyche are inseparable, and the second is that healing exists within us.
The purpose of movement practices is to be fully present in the body and connected to what is real and alive within..
By consciously moving the body, we increase awareness, and we allow the flow of energy to open. With regular practice, we open the door to authentic expression and start living as we are at the core of our being.
Movement practices stem from the origins of body-centered psychotherapy and have developed throughout the years. We use structured movement and breathing exercises that focus on emotional regulation and expression. We use conscious dance, storytelling, meditation, and guided fantasies. We also use authentic movement which means that we allow the wisdom of our body to find a spontaneous way of reaching balance and expression.
Movement classes can help you to:
• be present in your body
• move through some issues
• feel connected to your essence/soul
• regulate your nervous system
• feel the connection between your body, mind, and soul
• find your safe space
• understand yourself better
• feel what you truly long for
• be in contact with your authenticity
• express yourself freely
You don’t need any prior experience. All you need is your willingness to show up and move. And maybe a bottle of water. Wear something comfortable so that you can move with ease.
