Join Toni Bergins for a transformative exploration of your body and heart, opening yourself to greater love, giving, and receiving.
Experience Toni’s Embodiment Series: Come home to your body!
Through movement, you will learn to surrender to the earth, enliven and strengthen your core, and dive into the JourneyDance embodiment series of release techniques and powerful core connections. You will be guided to transition from your mind into your body, taking time to slow down, roll, and feel your body in contact with the floor. As you ground yourself, release tension, surrender, and feel supported, you will drop deep and let go of stress, experiencing a profound sense of relaxation and strength.
To further energize your physicality, we will introduce beginning contact improv exercises that lead into vigorous dancing from a place of fullness. You will dance, move, and practice with your total surface area—from skin to muscle, bone to blood, and fluid. These exercises are designed to improve your balance, stability, and freedom of movement, allowing you to express yourself fully and freely.
Experience Toni’s Heart Series:
Next, we shift our focus to the heart, getting in touch with it through movement, dance, and energy awareness. You will become more keenly aware of yourself as an intuitive sensory being, experiencing life through your open heart and enjoying the art of connecting with others. Together, we will move through a series of partner and group exercises designed to open energy flow and enhance energy awareness.
In these exercises, you will give and receive nourishing energetic touch, evolving into dancing as a way to deepen these connections. By opening your feeling senses and intuition, you will experience the healing and nourishment of supportive group connection. This warm, heart-centered approach will deepen your capacity for intimacy and create a sense of community.
*No experience necessary. This workshop includes some light touch and physical contact. Yoga teachers and practitioners may enjoy new partner exercises to incorporate into their practice and deepen their heart connection.*
