inSpirit

I am grateful for all that inSpirit has brought into my life but one of the things I am most grateful for is the deep, heart-minded friendships with Zoe Katakuzinos, Minna Aalto, Jasmine Lok, Nia with Vanessa, Move with Melissa, Julie Kim, Lainie Magidsohn, Paul Duff, and Christine Curran. These are exceptional humans, y'all.

Love you all dearly.

I've been lucky enough to collaborate with Punching Out Parkinson's Santa Fe the last few months with an Embodied Movement class and tomorrow we will have an open house for a Community Sing! The event is free and open to all in the Parkinson's community. Beginning in May, Holly Mead and I will be hosting a weekly sing so stay tuned for more information about that!

👉Join Paul in Los Angeles!👈

This Sunday, April 28th, Paul Duff is teaching live in Los Angeles at 9:30am. Join him for a fun 2-part class experience. Begin with a movement jukebox to explore a variety of movements in a relaxed, improv-style format. Then explore a movement experience crafted to the music of Peter Gabriel.

This class will be focused on finding your personal "flow" with the intention to make choices that help you feel relaxed and present.

Classes are offered monthly at the Anna Cheselka Dance Center, 12445 Moorpark St in Studio City. To register for class, visit: inspiritstudio.com/schedule

I just listened to a podcast with Michael O'Brien and he shared that he is always seeking like-hearted community, not like-minded. Like-minded has siloed us (and I'm not sure if we can ever get back) but I will continue to hold like-hearted as my community endeavor. This hit me as truth and thought I would share in case it rang true for you.✨

✨Experience This Body Dances in a chair for FREE ✨
From Monday, April 15th - Wednesday, April 17th, you can experience Lainie’s class, HANDS, for free in the inSpirit On Demand platform. No purchase necessary, just sign into your inSpirit Wellness Living account, or create a free account, and move with Lainie.

This Body Dances is a guided improv-based class, in which you are invited to move in THIS BODY, your body, however it shows up right now. Stay in your authentic dance as you move and allow the repetition of movements to be your meditation. Adjust your movements in whatever way your body asks of you. This is a time to do what feels good, and enjoy!

This 30 minute experience is done in a chair, though you are, of course, welcome to adapt however you like ~ standing up or even lying down.

The music and movement in this class is all about HANDS and the myriad miraculous things they do.

Today is my Dad’s birthday and the 3rd anniversary of inSpirit. I have a lot that I could say but gratitude is the word. I am grateful to have been lucky enough to call this gentleman my dad. I am grateful to be with a community of somatic guides/movers that are curious and devoted to meaning through movement. I am grateful to have found friendships with people that challenge and enliven me. I am grateful.

I don’t really believe that my Dad is ‘looking down on me’ but I do believe that he is part of all that is around and inside of me. He is still my soul mate.

I am grateful and I hope you can join me to dance tomorrow - online or in Santa Fe.

California and West Coast movers and friends! I'm so honored and excited to be a part of the Spring Dance Revival with Move with Melissa, Nia with Vanessa, and Christy Cantrell.

✨I'll also be presenting a workshop called Dancing Your Essence on Saturday and my original movement experience, Essence on Sunday morning at ReGen Yoga and Wellness Center

✨One of the most powerful and healing things we can do in community is to bring our most honest, authentic, and beautifully diverse selves forward. We all deserve to arrive in our now body with dignity and be seen with an open heart and without judgement. Moving to music with an awareness of the lived experience of everyone in the room allows barriers to melt, essence to arrive without words, and the felt-sense of belonging to appear.

I hope you can join us for an uplifting weekend of Revival! Link to register: https://regenyoga.punchpass.com/classes/14950584

Punching Out Parkinson's Santa Fe

Learn more about Certified Hanna Somatic Educator, Christine Curran. You can join her for weekly in-person Hanna Somatics Classes in Santa Fe.

Christine has worked in the bodywork and movement fields since 2005 including over 12 years of experience as a Massage Therapist, and over 7 years of experience as a Nia Technique Instructor.

In 2017 she first discovered Hanna Somatic Education and was blown away by the changes she experienced after just one group class. A massage-related injury that she had been dealing with for 5 years disappeared and over the next few weeks she learned the somatic movements that she needed to continue releasing the tension that was causing this long-term pain. Christine was inspired to train to become a Hanna Somatic Educator and began this study in 2019.

Concurrently, while still working as a massage therapist and Nia instructor, Christine sustained a severe spinal injury which led to a period of disability, steroid injections and two failed surgeries. She began to study chronic pain in even greater detail and found her Hanna Somatics practice to be indispensable in her path back to sitting, standing, walking, and eventually hiking.

Chronic pain has been and still is a part of Christine's journey. She has learned tools and techniques to improve her quality of life so that she can be at ease as she works, socializes with friends and enjoys hikes in the mountains. It is her desire to be able to support others to reach their goals too, whether it is increased mobility, less pain, feeling embodied or even learning to soften and relax at a deeper level.

Christine offers weekly Hanna Somatics Classes on Wednesday at 5pm at Breathe Studio. To join her, visit: https://www.inspiritstudio.com/schedule
