Cultivating the Water Body with Continuum Movement

This workshop focuses on activating wave motion, the movement quality inherent to the practice of Continuum.  To wave, arc and spiral the water body stimulates internal sensations, reduces pain responses and induces a deep sense of rest.  As we shift from linear to three-dimensional pathways we break deeply held old patterns and tap into our own creative capacity. This workshop is open to all levels of practice and anyone who lives in a body and hopes to move better.

Continuum movement is a somatic practice that combines breath, sound and subtle movements. It views the body not as a mechanical object but a living process and aims to soften restrictive cultural conditioning.
