Movement for All Abilities
EveryBODY benefits from subtle movement, breath, mindfulness, and sensory input to navigate stress and experience safety, self-compassion, confidence, and community. The simple truth is that it takes a unique set of tools to ensure that everyBODY has access to spaces that honors all aspects of body, mind & heart. Choose what class works best for you.
Navigating Stress in Structured Spaces - what you'll find:
- Sensory Aware Environment
- Trauma-Sensitive Approach
- Photos of people doing the movement
- Sequences of movements that are color coded (e.g. red cards are for standing, orange cards are for lunges)
- A “check list” so you know the order and completion of the practice
- Additional visual supports (optional) for motor planning
- Safe space for Neurodivergent Minds & Bodies
- Requirements: Water bottle & loose fitting clothing.
Navigating Stress in Adapted Spaces - what you'll find:
- A sensation-based class honoring subtle movements that are universal to all
- Trauma-Sensitive Approach
- This class does not judge breath or movement; instead asks you to stay curious and open-minded to NEW experiences
- Laughter, music, aromatherapy, stories, proprioception, and touch are incorporated to support sensations of ease, grounding, and balance
- Getting on a mat is available if you have your own assistance
- Safe space for bodies with disabilities
