This workshop focuses on the somatic movement foundations of presence, touch, and movement, through integrated practice of the essential principles, including:

• Fully embodied presence

• Softness in attention, intention, contact and movement

• Weight - sensing lightness and groundedness

• Fluidity in tissue and movement patterning

• Balancing floating in the sweet center with playing at the edges

• Artful transitions in speed, size, density, intensity

• Taking out the slack in the three-dimensional biotensegral web

• Integrating meaningful movement into both professional and personal life activities

• Connecting to ourselves, our partners, the earth, and to the life forces of the universe

The workshop also introduces the benefits of studying the Trager Approach for:

• Replacing restrictive movement habits with natural, graceful movement patterns.

• Reframing daily self-care exercises as opportunities for mindful embodiment and self-development.

• Equipping participants with practices to better navigate stress and cultivate resilience.

• Integrating somatic practices into spiritual exploration and creative expression.

• Addressing the somatic dimensions of trauma, depression, and anxiety, offering pathways to healing and transformation.

• Enriching both professional and personal relationships (platonic and intimate) through embodied presence and attuned connection.
