In my 20+ years of work teaching improv and movement, I’m learning what contextual behavioral therapy already knows- our bodies speak to us, and when we move, we have a chance to understand what it's saying and shift the context around our experiences.
In both All Together Now-BODIES group fitness and Personal training sessions, we’re integrating awareness, flexibility, and value-aligned actions into building strength and balance. We’re practicing ways to connect with who we are and how we want to move to the world.
In personal training,we take time to design movement that reflects our real-life functions and our evolving values. This is functional training, yes, but it's also values-based living in practice. In short we're taking time to design ways to move that reflect the way you want to move through the world.
Improv shows us how quickly stories shift. A scene can change in an instant. So can life. If we can learn to listen to our bodies in that improv moment, to hear what it wants to create or experience, and its fears around doing so, we get to practice strengthening the part of us that notices our intentions for ourselves, adapts, and stays present… all so we can connect to who we are and move through the world as our genuine selves.
Whether we're on an Improv stage or in the middle of an exercise routine we get to connect and ask ourselves what is my body telling me? What do I need?
How can I move toward that, with awareness, curiosity and openness?
That’s improv.
That’s healing.
