Through Movement we are able to experience emotion, creativity, expression, physical fitness, body awareness and intelligence, physical and mental health. Dance is expressive movement with intent, purpose, and form. In dance we transform, communicate, and interpret ideas, feelings and experiences. Dance communication is transmitted thru movement and mediated thru the body and gestures of the dancer (mover). Dancers are therefore both performers and the instruments thru which dance is expressed. Movement is always changing and evolving, personal and communal. Performance is an act of giving with both performer and audience engaged in an exchange of energy and love.  Come share in this unique experience based in the highest of human aspirations.

TRAUMA-INFORMED YOGA CIRCLE

Tuesday’s 12noon-1pm

starts May 7th

Are you stressed out, or simply want a good feeling movement class for your midday self-care? The past several years of collective and individual traumatic stress has taken a toll on everyone. Trauma-informed Yoga is at the forefront of best practices to address the impacts of stress, trauma, and overloaded nervous systems. Unlike traditional yoga with set poses, this is a somatic (body-led) movement practice in which we move, stretch, breath and release to come back to self and reset. 

What to expect? We will meet in a circle (mats if desired), opening share of intentions & sensing, brief grounding meditation, yoga & intuitive movement, closing reflections.

This is a class for everybody, yoga experience not required. 

Bring a mat (mats available) and wear comfortable clothing.

 

Adhara Hamilton is a licensed somatic-based therapist and certified yoga/movement teacher, who specializes in empowering others to get in touch with the body’s intuitive wisdom and healing capacity through movement & sound. She has been participating and leading in healing circles for over 25 years, and believes in the time-tested benefits of supportive community circles. She regularly engages in various forms of movement, yoga, and dance including ecstatic/improv and conscious movement practices. Adhara also enjoys singing/songwriting and anything outside with nature!
