Shamanic Stretch (Portland)

Shamanic Stretch is a somatic movement class designed to help you connect with your most natural, primal self. In this class we’ll work with recorded music as we explore various movement themes and qualities to promote a sense of unwinding and freedom within the body. This class is intended to encourage you to trust your body’s innate wisdom while empowering you to move and stretch in new dynamic ways. This unique movement practice will help you release tension, increase vitality, and improve body awareness, all the while integrating the mind, body, and spirit connection. The depth and intensity of this practice is completely up to the individual, making Shamanic Stretch accessible to anybody, any age, and any fitness level; regardless of injuries or physical limitations.
