Healing is movement. Disease is inertia. If you put the body in motion, you will change. - Gabrielle Roth
I give 5Rhythms movement classes to acknowledge our human condition in intense times.
We can be simultaneously wounded and capable of restoring, inundated and insightful,
in need and generative, in conflict and peace-building.
Carrying potential for positive change.
I give classes to support growth in our individual capacities to know ourselves,
to be basically well, and to deliberately direct our time and attention
to mending our shared earthly state in this precious life.
I give classes to invest in deepening responsiveness and balance
in our collective actions and community life,
in the context of a crisis-addled human family and planet.
I give classes knowing that broadened care and engagement is preceded
by care directed inward, and rooted. We can show up, decompress, relate, and leave refreshed.
