HOLISTIC MOVEMENT

My class schedule is at the bottom of the page

​

What is Movement?

 

Movement practice, as I teach it, is more than just a collection of techniques—it’s an exploration of what it means to fully inhabit your body and move through life with purpose, self-compassion, and awareness. Rather than isolating skills or focusing on mastery of any single discipline, movement becomes a holistic experience that integrates diverse practices like martial arts, yoga, strength training, dance, play, and breathwork. The essence of this practice lies in weaving these forms together, allowing them to inform one another, ultimately fostering physical and mental resilience and a deeper connection with your body and mind.

​

At its core, my approach prioritizes embodiment—truly feeling and understanding how your body moves and responds. This embodied awareness creates space for a more intuitive relationship with yourself, and the ability to move through challenges—both physical and mental—with greater resilience. Movement practice is not just about becoming stronger or more flexible; it’s about cultivating mindfulness, joy, and connection with others, transforming how we relate to the world around us. Movement, in this sense, is life itself.

Some Key Disciplines We Explore

Martial Arts & Tactical Work

Incorporating elements of martial arts, we explore agility, balance, and quickness. Martial arts training encourages both a sharpened awareness of the body and the ability to move fluidly and efficiently in space. Students develop mobility and lightness on their feet, while also building strength and mental focus, all of which are useful in any movement-based practice.

 

Strength Training

Strength training forms the backbone of our physical structure, supporting the body in a range of other activities. Whether through traditional weightlifting, mobility work, or bodyweight exercises, students can expect to build functional strength that enhances joint stability, posture, and resilience. Strength training is not just about building muscle but also about making the body more adaptable and capable of engaging in various physical activities. We tailor the programming to fit the student’s needs, helping beginners build foundational strength and experienced practitioners push their limits.

 

Yoga & Subtle Awareness

Yoga and breathwork are central to cultivating an embodied awareness of how we move. In these practices, students develop a deep connection to their body’s internal landscape—how thoughts, emotions, and sensations arise and influence physical movement. Yoga offers not only flexibility and mobility but also an opportunity to explore mindfulness, subtle movement, and breath as a gateway to greater purpose and depth in everything we do. This connection weaves into every other discipline, suffusing all aspects of practice with a heightened sensitivity and awareness.

 

Dance & Free-Form Movement

Dance and free-form movement explore the organic, unstructured ways in which the body can express itself. By playing with rhythm, fluidity, and creativity, students learn to manipulate the spine and body in ways that traditional fitness doesn’t often explore. These movements are not just physically freeing but also emotionally and mentally uplifting, encouraging self-expression, spontaneity, and a joyful relationship with the body.

 

Games & Play

We believe play is essential to growth and learning. Through movement games, partner work, and fun challenges, students discover new dimensions of their abilities, while increasing motivation, creativity, and stress relief. These playful elements also create a sense of community and collaboration, reminding us that movement isn’t just about individual progress—it’s about connection with others.

 

Meditation, Stillness & Breathwork

Movement is not just about what we do physically but also about how we relate to stillness and breath. Practices like meditation and breathwork help students cultivate awareness of the subtlest forms of movement—like the breath itself. This leads to greater control over the mind-body relationship, quieting mental chatter while the body is in motion. Students learn to stay centered and grounded, even in dynamic or challenging situations, enhancing their overall capacity for resilience and focus.

 

Hand Balancing & Joint Health

Hand balancing and working with bodyweight techniques like inversions develop strength, confidence, and comfort in unfamiliar positions. These practices are about more than just skill acquisition—they teach students how to protect vulnerable joints and improve coordination, especially as we age. These movements foster a sense of play while strengthening key areas of the body, particularly the shoulders, wrists, and core.

 

The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts

What sets this movement practice apart is how each discipline informs and enhances the others. Strength training supports better mobility, while yoga fosters a greater connection to strength and breath. Martial arts sharpen agility and mental focus, while play opens up new dimensions of creativity. The interplay between these diverse forms of movement creates a more holistic, functional, and meaningful practice.  By taking this truly integrative approach, I believe that you will see significant improvement in everything you do.  This has certainly been the case for me.
