MindBody in Motion practices

Shape in Motion

Dance as a form for people who can't dance.
Dance brought from structure and rhythm to the senses with the imprint of the geography and culture from which it was formed.
Dance without stakes and with exposure to the new for exploration and getting out of your comfort zone.

Focus on form and effort

as premises for emotional processing.

Focus on form and effort as premises for emotional processing.

general objectives

body posture awareness - practising presence for healthy posture
motor co-ordination and development of the movement alphabet (with or without a predefined music rhythm)
  observing and developing non-verbal language
  neuroplasticity and the formation of new neural pathways by learning new movements, steps and choreographies over and over again
  resisting the new in learning processes and observing the states that block them
  increase heart rate and train endurance
  self-observation in working with oneself through tandem practice (the tandem created in dance and movement can be with a friend, a daughter, a boyfriend or a partner spontaneously met in the dance studio)
  accessing states from which emotional connection and regulation is more natural
  playfulness - constructive basis and nourishment for secure attachment
  simultaneous activation of several areas of the brain and balancing the activity of the cerebral hemispheres through symmetrical and whole-body movements with short choreographed sequences and structured dance steps
  the form and the styles from which the choreographic and rhythmic pieces are inspired come from sports dance (samba, cha cha, rumba, paso doble, jive, waltz, tango, slowfox, quickstep)

❗BUT WITHOUT the aim of these courses being to learn or practise dance sport.

basic value

Health as prevention

Beyond fitness, the therapeutic side of fast-paced movement training is all about resilience.

Resilience seen as an enlarged window of the limits of tolerance to effort, discomfort and exposure to novelty.
Resilience as a consequence of the emotional rebalancing gained from the consistent preoccupation with this physiological end-of-week shower
Resilience seen as an integrated part of the experience of stable and secure attachment relationships worked in the triangle of co-regulation - self-regulation - resilience.

What they say

Articles  Benefits

Van der Kolk's statement "what makes life unbearable is not emotions but physical sensations

Now, many people who don't know a lot about trauma think that trauma has something to do with something that happened to you a long time ago. In fact, the past is the past and the only thing that matters is what happens right now. And what is trauma is the residue that a past event leaves in your own sensory experiences in your body and it's not that event out there that becomes intolerable but the physical sensations with which you live that become intolerable and you will do anything to make them go away."
