ITINERARY
2 - 3:30 PM - Ecstatic Movement + Journaling w Chiara
This embodied movement workshop combines yoga, dance, and pilates and is intended to help you release, connect back to self, and gain an appreciation/awareness of the present moment. As we groove and flow, you’ll be encouraged to tap into intuitive movement to shake up stagnant energy and step into your higher self. After, we get still and journal on what comes up.
