F3F. Gentle Movement for Peak Performance
Movement & Dance | Registration opens 8/27/2025 9:00 AM
Some common approaches to exercise can unintentionally exacerbate the body’s stress response, diminishing the quality of our experience of moving and living over time. Instead of focusing on building muscular strength and stretching, this course will offer a gentle, guided series of experiments in movement and awareness. We will explore practical ways to enhance coordination, build body awareness, release habits of tension, diminish the effects of stress, and make space for the body’s natural intelligence to emerge. No prior experience necessary.
