DESCRIPTION:More information: https://momence.com/l/x9hkAKO9Morning Embod
 iment Practices is an invitation to practice giving ourselves permission t
 o arrive fully to where we are\, and gently explore movement and stillness
  to care for our bodies and ourselves.As an element of self attunement\, w
 e will practice making intuitive choices through a lens of self love\, mea
 ning that we are each making choices that are nourishing and responsive to
  ourselves as individuals in that moment. Part of this practice includes b
 eing very intentional and explicit about what kinds of choices we might co
 nsider\, and being curious about how it feels to try them. There will be m
 any options provided throughout\, with guidance around how to navigate cho
 ice making\, including if this is new to you or you are navigating a limit
 ation or injury. There will be a corner of the room set aside in case you
 ’d like to opt out of the facilitated structure and take a moment for yo
 urself to rest.Opening Circle: 10 min. We will arrive\, ground\, and check
 -in with whatever feels present for each of us. This event is designed to 
 support you in meeting yourself in whatever you might be experiencing. We 
 get to welcome ourselves to come as we are.Warm Up: 20 min: We will do a g
 uided\, full-bodied warm up\, tuning the instruments of our bodies and att
 ention\, giving ourselves plenty of time to shake it out\, stretch\, wiggl
 e\, and move through whatever feels stuck. Movements will be simple enough
  to follow along\, giving us a chance to get out of our heads and drop int
 o our bodies\, regulating our nervous system. Drawing on modern/contempora
 ry dance and yoga\, there will be flow\, rhythm\, and music.Movement Explo
 rations: 30 min: After the warm up\, we will explore movements that deepen
  our connection with our bodies and our intuition\, focusing on concepts a
 nd areas of the body that can help us settle and release.Meditation: 15 mi
 n: We will settle into meditation and rest. Finding stillness might be sit
 ting/standing/lying down and might include cozy props\, having eyes open o
 r closed\, and suggestions to make yourself comfortable\, including allowi
 ng some body movement within that quiet space.Please bring clothes you fee
 l comfortable to move in. It’s recommended to bring long sleeves\, long 
 pants and socks with you\, in case we are moving on the floor. Bring a jou
 rnal if you’d like.About Suzanne (Zan):With three decades of modern danc
 e experience and 13 years of teaching\, Suzanne Beahrs guides students in 
 exploring movement as a pathway to deeper connection—with ourselves\, ou
 r surroundings\, and each other. Her classes blend technical training\, cr
 eative expression\, and guidance on being intentional with how we are each
  practicing. Her movement style was described by The New York Times as “

 Breathwork is an embodiment practice designed to move you out of the think
 ing mind and into the intelligence of the body. It gives the body space to
  express and discharge stored emotion\, stress\, and old patterns that may
  be weighing you down.The practice uses circular connected breathing with 
 rhythmic music to support a cathartic release\, which may take the form of
  movement\, shaking\, yelling\, crying\, laughing\, or simply stillness. T
 he aim is to give the body room to express what often has no place in ever
 yday social settings\, so the nervous system can process stuck emotion and
  return toward balance.This session is designed to help you move out of yo
 ur head and into your body\, reset the nervous system toward calm\, and su
 pport you to reconnect with a more grounded sense of self. What to expect:
