About this Event
***CLASS 7:15-8:15pm***
***JAM 8:15-9:30pm***
-- CLASS DESCRIPTION --
What if feet and legs were as sensitive and used for exploration as hands and arms? Would it make going upside down easier, or give us a wider range of possibility for movement in unfamiliar positions? In this exploratory class, we’ll heighten awareness in our feet and legs and strive for a bottom-up experience where instead of thinking (top-down) about possibilities, our feet and legs will sense, test, try new things and organically end with our bottoms up.
-- CLASS FACILITATOR --
Wowlvenn Seward-Katzmiller has been loving CI for over 20 years and has taught it for over ten, though we’re all learning from each other, right? She’s a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and loves playing with CI to explore boundaries and connection, nervous system resilience and range of motion, and will soon have a new website up with all her somatic offerings so keep in touch if you want to know more.
