Somatic Techniques: A BodyWork Seminar involves study in the methods of somatic training and its application to the moving body. Potential training methods include Pilates Mat Work, an exercise-based system that aims to develop the body's "center" to create a stable core for efficient and effective movement,  Iyengar Yoga, a uniquely integral approach to Hatha Yoga combining clear principals for optimal alignment and balanced energetic action and Tai Chi Chuan, described as "moving meditation." Appropriate for all ages, no dance experience is required. Wear comfortable clothing, and bring a mat or blanket.
