"Bounheuang has so loosened up my vertebrae that I feel I have gained at least a quarter inch in height. I have learned from many expert teachers over the years - in many different forms of movement, especially in yoga - but, I have never learned from a more natural and graceful teacher & healer than B. She is unbelievably intuitive in helping your body towards a better & more liquid grace. Thanks B - for all the good energy, knowledge, and all the awesome assisted stretching! Not only have you lightened me of many aches and pains I've carried for years, your knowledge and guidance continues to deepen and enhance my yoga - working with you definitively betters me - Namaste."

A series of danced exercises will be proposed to sense fluidity, body alignment, grounding, balance, release, musicality. We will cultivate intention, breath energy, movement clarity, and develop techniques based on ballet/contemporary dance, Tai Chi, Yoga, Somatics (and more...) followed by a final dance phrase or improvisation/composition.

Beginner/Intermediate level. Beginners welcome. Fundamentals of contemporary techniques will be taught with an emphasis on movement quality and body awareness.

CLASS TBA

LIQUID

Yoga/Dance/Martial Arts Fusion.

Photo by Lohan, re-edited by Bouh.

An organic movement exploration, like a flowing meditation, based on various techniques and body approaches (Dance, Butoh, Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Tai chi, Chi Qong, martial arts, somatics, massage, Laban movement analysis, Bartenieff Fundamentals, Kinesiology...) with a special focus on energy, the idea of economy of effort initiated by natural breathing.

We will focus on awakening body tonicity and fluidity, working in synergy with the floor, stimulating the awareness of space, weight, centeredness, energy flow, connections, grounding. Slow focused movement phrases, massage and yoga/dance stretching. We will explore movement in solo or work with one or multiple partners. We will seek our own body mechanics experiencing kinesthetic perceptions, explore the wide array of sensations and feelings the body has to offer, opening all the senses and move intuitively to just ... be in the present moment, listening to the present body.

This dynamic restorative approach helps to develop a sense of well-being and harmony, refine one's perception of body volume/shape, find the inner creative body resources, learn self-care tools.
Body Awareness through yoga and dance movement also brings about balance, postural alignment, coordination, flexibility, focus, alertness, calming the mind, soothing the spirit and energizing the body.

No prior body/movement/dance experience necessary.

Private session: $70 / 1 hour

Class TBA
