Rediscover Shoulder Mobility Through Embodied Movement
2025-06-10 10:00 - 11:30, 2025-06-17 10:00 - 11:30 | https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_144766925_134499998301_1_original
The shoulder girdle is a marvel of mobility – a floating framework of bones, muscles, breath and intention.
It was designed to reach, to gesture, to express your yes, your no, your maybe. To carry, to release. To open, to hold.
But so often it becomes a shelf for the weight we bear – the ‘shoulds’, the tension, the quiet ways we brace against the world.

This part of you is not just structural. It’s emotional. It’s deeply relational.

When we move with awareness, when we breathe into the space between collarbones and shoulder-blades, when we soften the grip around our hearts – the shoulders become wings again.

Let’s begin there. With breath. With presence. With permission to release.

In this 4-week series, we’ll lighten the load by integrating the breath and embodied mindful movement to reconnect with the bones and soft tissues of the shoulder girdle. Together, we’ll explore how these movements not only restore shoulder mobility but also influence our expression and the health of the spine.

Tuesdays June 3rd to 24th10am to 11:30am2 Willingdon Blvd, Etobicoke Ont

Journey Into the Hips: Mobility through Embodied Movement
2025-06-12 10:00 - 11:30, 2025-06-19 10:00 - 11:30 | https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_144766925_134499998301_1_original
Your hips are not just joints – they are the deep bowl of your becoming.
The place where breath meets ground, where stillness meets stride and where the stories of holding and release live quietly in the tissues.

This is not about stretching more. It’s about ‘feeling’ more. Remembering the hips as portals of presence, as anchors of creativity, as guides into movement that is yours. When we move from here – gently, curiously – we don’t just unlock tension, we awaken possibility. We remember how to come home to ourselves.

Rock gently. Feel the echo. This is pelvic poetry.

In this 4-week Journey into the Hips series, we’ll dive deep into exploring and releasing tension in the hips and lower back – the foundation of our body that stabilizes us and gives us the freedom to run, walk, jump and play. Each week, we’ll focus on a unique area, integrating breath, mindful movement, and visualization to unlock greater mobility and ease in the hips, legs, and low back.

Warning: You may experience increased mobility, release and newfound ease in your lower body!

Thursdays June 5th to 26th10am to 11:30am2 Willingdon Blvd, Etobicoke Ont.
