BIO
CI has been a dear friend in my life for over twenty years, as have the beautiful people in the CI community. Having been doing yoga since 1998 and teaching it for twenty years, I’ve always noted the yummy mutual, reciprocal elements between yoga and CI. I became an osteopath in 2018, which brought new clarity and curiosity as to the anatomical and biomechanical factors involved in movement. A CI dance could potentially even serve as a healing modality for oneself and the partner!
Embodied – Towards body wisdom, flow, and connection
Teacher: Iiris and Jarno
Pathway:
Through touch, hands-on work, breath, and somatic movement, we open body channels and explore receiving as an active, creative process. How does touch turn into movement, and movement into dance?
This is an embodiment practice: bringing thoughts, intuition, and experiences into the body and physical reality. When they grow roots, they can turn into agency and transformative power. Positioned as channels between earth and sky, we remain open to what wants to flow through us. Through contact improvisation, we explore weight, support, and active listening, building a bridge between inner experience and shared movement. Being seen and sharing movement amplifies the process and makes it more tangible.
