By slowing down and clarifying fundamental biological movement patterns, new options for moving, feeling, and thinking emerge. Improve the quality of your attention in movement and exp …

Movement and Creativity are vital to our lives. When we direct our focus to deepening connections to ourselves, each other and life itself, our experience of life becomes fertile, rich, vibrant. Movement: classes, workshops, experiments, performances, curiosity, discovery. Creativity: art, music, process, creation, discussion, experiencing, learning. The body is the physical aspect of the personality and movement is the personality made visible.- Mary Starks Whitehouse http://www.tiffanysankary …

What I will be teaching you, you already know. All of us have a body in which we experience and interact with life. But have you ever thought about how our body is really just the house for our soul?

The idea behind my original creation, Fusion-Improvisation, is that if we can engage and refine the vessel we call body, there is no limit to how we can reveal our souls. When we are skilled with our b …

Not because it is cheaper, not because the health care industry in dying a slow death and not because it is the n …
