A Body of Intelligence

Move with clarity and control in an adaptive way.

This workshop is a hands-on, full-body weekend for people who want to move better while learning and improving how they move. We’ll work on building real skills: control, coordination, adaptability, and strength through various areas of study (locomotion, balance, soft acrobatics, and partner drills). But just as importantly, we’ll explore the how behind those skills, what makes movement intelligent, responsive, and ready for the unexpected. You’ll leave with tools to develop your practice, challenge your patterns, and move with more confidence and adaptability.

What You’ll Experience

Over two full days, we’ll explore:

• Somatic Awareness – Grounding attention in sensation, learning to map the “how” of movement

• Skill Development – How do strength, coordination, and control come into play with specific areas and skills

• Embodied Intelligence – Movement that listens, adapts, and evolves with and through intention

• Physical Literacy – Building on previously learned terminology to better understand how movement expands and connects into other areas.

• Perception & Partnering Work - Using creative parter guiding to help unlock previously stuck or unexplored aspects of our Movement.

  What You’ll Leave With

• A renewed sense of physical possibilities for practice and exploration

• Tools to explore your practice with more clarity and variety

• Expanded awareness to influence the “how” of future practice

• Practical insights you can apply in coaching, teaching, or self-practice

• A body that feels more awake, adaptable, and alive

This workshop is open to all levels and all bodies. You don’t need to “be ready”, you just need to be curious.

• Coaches & trainers seeking new tools and layers
