This workshop will be a space to reset and rest our nervous systems using movement and voice in a way that feels nourishing. Maya Vivas will facilitate a series of breathing exercises, meditations, movements and vocal expressions designed to release of what is no longer serving you, to fully experience/embody something that needs your attention or to just simply be present and wiggle/voice in a room full of cuties!
The workshop will open with a herbal tea to help participants open and relax into the space and close with a tea formulated to re-center and ground the body.
All experience levels welcomed. Partaking in tea is completely optional and exercises/movements can be adjusted for differing abilities. Please wear clothing to move in, water and any comfort objects you wish (pillow, blanket etc).
