This year, BODY MIND CANTERING will transform, adapt, embody your potential, the ability to be with yourself and around people and nature.
We start with anatomical information, then somatize it, i.e. we direct our attention to the body and look for movement, gradually leading the body towards the so-called embodiment, i.e. the body remembers the original patterns of movement.
This season we will work with the endocrine glands, hormone harmonization, crystallization of the internal state, good connection with the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. We will also work on movement patterns supported by the endocrine system.
We will work through the endocrine system on the clarity of the sound and the opening of the voice channel. We will deepen the contact with our body through cellular breath, activation of the senses as well as sound and touch.

WHEN?
MONDAYS, 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
