An opportunity to cultivate health, creativity and ease-of-movement. Somatic practices help amplify
body-mind awareness and physical performance. Explore embodiment tools that give us freedom

self. Key for dancers, movers, actors, writers, musicians, performers, somatic practitioners and all
those interested in developing a more profound capacity for self healing and expression.
