Movement for Meditators with Laura V Ward
Movement for Meditators: Intro to Embodied Awakening
Movement for Meditators
Embodiment, Space & Flow, with Laura V Ward
Dates: July 12 - September 27
Sundays from 2:00-3:15pm ET, 11:00am PT
A 12-week movement & theory course on Zoom.
If you want to feel different, move differently, break out of your habitual holding patterns, and open to a realm of spacious potential.
In this class, we will explore inner and outer space and the various flows of imagination and movement that can take us deep into our phenomenological experience. Moving and sounding with our breath, engaging with 3D space, and playing with the 4 elements, we will challenge ourselves to expand the range and clarity of our sensed embodiment.
Everyone has their own body story—all the messaging, cultural, familial, political, etc., that tells us how to be in our body. In this class, we offer ourselves and our cells the chance to unpack some of the overstuffed baggage that we carry in the interest of inviting in freedom and equanimity.
What if I have limited mobility?
No problem. You can move at whatever level of ability you have. Breathing is movement. Bringing the concepts we will work with into your imagination with no movement will still greatly affect your bodymind.
What are people saying?
“Coming to classes like this helps make me feel less imprisoned by expectations. Not just other people's expectations but my own as well.” R. C.

An expansive knowledge of diverse practices, hands-on bodywork, anatomy, and kinesiology underpins Laura’s playful investigation, including Continuum Movement, classical ballet training, Laban/Bartenieff, physical theater, and nondual awareness meditation (with Michael Taft).
