Do you feel trapped in fear in these deeply unsettled times?
Are your body and mind longing for help and release?
Would you like to share from the heart in community?
Every day, if we pay close attention, we will likely notice anywhere from minor momentary anxieties bubbling up, to more persistent, substantial, or dramatic concerns or fears.
What to do?
Essential Motion heightens our attunement to the stress signals in our body as a pathway for more ease and functionality. As we begin our time together, we will share what we’re noticing in our bodies. We will then offer guidance to meet our fears with compassion through words and movement. Through allowing – instead of resisting – our fears, we can discover that we have the capacity to expand when we feel contracted. This provides us with a visceral memory of the breathing room available to us in times of stress. Over the session, we’ll share what has been revealed and what we’re taking away from our time together. We hope that the resources we offer you will provide you with more agility and ease in navigating stormy seas.
All are welcome. Come join us!

“It has been a huge gift to be an early recipient of the magic of your process in bringing people together to move and feel into our own reality and be witnessed by others who you trust so thoroughly. I return to our group, led by you, time and time again to find myself and feel the love and support of each other.
In gratitude for who you are and for what you have brought to my life.”
