LiquidBody Movement classes and workshops approach moving from a fluid perspective using simple breaths and sounds to catalyze whole body mobility all the way to the cellular level.   With the resonance of your own voice you get your cells vibrating in targeted ways to amplify the physical sensations of subtle, mostly slow motion movement that guides your movement exploration of the inner fluidly-formed landscape of your body.  Less about moving through space or creating shapes or gestures, and more about moving from the inside out or relating to sensations of yourself as responsive, organized dancing cells, you start by following your own body's cues for where you can discover movement within simple seated and reclining positions eventually moving in a full range of relationships to gravity.  This strengthens mind/body awareness and allows each individual to move in harmony with their own structure gently releasing tensions and old habits while building a capacity for more and more adaptability and resilient whole body strength.    Movement becomes information about who you are, where you have been and where you can go.  It nurtures and feeds your body with increased circulation, adaptive structure/strength, released and generated energy, dynamic potential and a deep sense of being able to feel more of yourself than you had previously experienced.  It feeds your brain with new sensations, expanded neuromuscular pathways, deep relaxation and invigorated creative potential.

Caryn Heilman has an MFA in Dance from the University of California at Irvine.  She has studied somatic movement with Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum Movement for over 15 years as well as aerial dance, Astanga Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and other somatic modalities.  She has taught at SomaFest L.A., Jacob’s Pillow, Becket Arts Center, Smith College, Hollins University, Princeton University, Beijing Dance Academy in the U.S. and abroad.  Caryn‘s ten years of performing arts experience as a professional dancer in the Paul Taylor Dance Company allows her to share the wealth of expert guidance she has received over the years with anyone looking for an enjoyable and disciplined movement approach.

   Hi Beverly, So glad you are interested in classes. I teach in New York City and Adams, MA this winter. If the times are not convenient, send me an email or give me a call at 646.845.9272 and let me know what would work.
