2024 Fall/Winter Adult Drop-In
Adult Somatic Dance
Are you ready to have more energy and feel more connected to your body? Certified Somatic movement healer Chrissy Pappas will lead participants in being present with their bodies through movement that is designed to allow emotional residue to be processed. Whether it's the stress of the day or a traumatic past event, somatic movement classes will leave you feeling more relaxed, calm and in tune with yourself. Practices utilized during class include intuitive dance, somatic postures, rhythmic breath work, dynamic meditation and grounding affirmations. It's a feel-good dance party that ignites your soul, and it may even set forth an emotional release.
You will leave class feeling anew. The first 45 minutes will be geared towards movement and the last 15 minutes of class will focus on decompression and verbal processing, if comfortable. This class is appropriate for all skill levels. Drop-ins are always welcome, no advance registration required.
Students must be 18 years and older. There are no youth participants permitted (i.e. anyone under 17 years of age). There are absolutely no viewers - of any age - permitted to stay & watch. To experience the full benefits of class, students will need to be fully present and having people watch will hinder the experience. Please wear comfortable athletic clothing. You are encouraged to either be barefoot or wear socks.
