What to expect in your sessions

During a motion release group session, you’ll practice both verbal and movement exercises to help express and release emotions in the body. The sessions will also include music to inspire different types of dance/movement and to help you tap into your emotions.

 

The group setting offers a safe space – and sharing environment – to connect to your body while building on empathy, compassion and gratitude.

Frequently asked questions

Motion release is an inclusive practice – this group is open to everyone. Participants of all abilities are free to move within their own range.
