The Freedom Movement Method
Somatic Dance
We start each class with Jill, who leads a warm-up dance set to music, then moves into more energetic songs and choreographed, repetitive somatic movement. No need to have a dance background - you’ll pick up the movements in no time!
Yoga
Then we shift gears to yoga with Jessica, who leads mindful yet challenging asana to ground you after dancing. Take the practice at your own pace and modify as needed.
Mindfulness
Each class ends with mindfulness led by Jessica or Jill. Notice your breath, practice meditating, and come home to yourself. You’ll leave class feeling grounded, connected, and energized.
Learn to connect more deeply to your physical and emotional body, to breakthrough physical and emotional limitations, and to facilitate healing and expansion through your own movement and breath.
Body
Intentional somatic movement builds strength, endurance, and stamina.
Activate the rest-and-digest (parasympathetic) nervous system through shaking, stretching, breathwork, and meditation.
Reconnect with your body by moving in new ways and listening to your body’s needs.
Mind
Focus your mind with somatic movement and mindfulness.
The Freedom Movement Method builds new neural pathways and improves brain plasticity using scientifically supported, research-backed techniques.
Emotion
Freedom Movement includes breathwork and mindfulness to support emotional regulation and stress release.
Shift old patterns by gathering the tools you need to feel at home in yourself, trust your intuition, and empower yourself to become the creator of your life.
