An Exploration of Life Through Movement for Personal Healing, Professional Growth, and Community Building


A foundation in the most up to date approaches to embodiment and mindful movement, our Ground Floor Lab is an intensive, experiential, 30-hour introduction to the Open Floor curriculum. During this 6-day program you experience practical skills to use them in your movement practice, your everyday life, workplace and community.

You will peek behind the curtain to see how Open Floor sessions are built around movement resources. This is a required step to join the Open Floor Teacher Training.
