True navigation begins in the human heart. It’s the most important map of all.
~Elizabeth Kapu’uwailani Lindsey
The human heart has captivated philosophers, artists, scientists, and poets for eons. It is at once a sensory organ that is essential to life, and the “home” of energetic and emotional qualities essential to humanity: Love, caring, sadness, and more. It is an organized system; a feeling and perhaps “thinking” brain, and the hub of emergent movement and action. This Continuum class combines heart “philosophy” and physiology with a breath, sound and movement-based Continuum exploration. Opening the “door to our hearts”, we explore its wisdom through stillpoints, spirals and suspension in space.
Continuum is a movement and sonic practice that combines sound-streams, breath and simple movement sequences. This class will explore the helical heart as an inspiration for our movement. Drawing on polyvagal theory and polyvagal-informed restorative movement psychotherapy, we’ll touch into the neuroscience that understands the hearts crucial role in human emotion, connection, creativity and engagement as we dance its spiral dance.
This class is appropriate for those very new to very experienced in Continuum. The movement continuum we explore ranges from contemplative to dynamic, and is at your own pace, ability and choice. It is accessible to every body.
Bring something to write in and with, dress in traditional yoga/exercise wear, with layers, and feel free to bring refreshment (water, snacks).
