MOVEMENT LAB: FALLING & THE ART OF LETTING GO

Discover how to fall safely by letting go of unnecessary tension and surrendering to gravity while maintaining autonomy to move, adapt, and express. This somatic practice easily translates into day to day life where we can see how holding on to our patterns doesn’t always keep us safe, but make us more vulnerable to injury and limits our options. For the martial artist or dancer examining fear can open up a much larger spectrum of creative options.
