Recent & Upcoming Workshops
Continuum Movement (CM) is a somatic practice that combines breath, vocalization (sounding), and intuitive movement to tap into the fluid nature of the body. In this in-person workshop series, we will explore five dynamic pathways -- waves, spirals, space, pushing, and gravity -- that Continuum practitioners use to access the fluid body. Drop-in for one class that most interests you, or take the whole series. Every class will include a brief orientation to Continuum for participants new to the practice! All level of movement experience welcome.

Continuum Movement sees the body in an expansive light – at once an expression of the biological, cultural, and inter-dependent dimensions of being human. Across four workshops, we will explore how Continuum practices – which use breath, body-generated sound, self-guided intuitive moment, and granular attention to sensation and pleasure – can deepen our awareness of these different dimensions of inhabiting a body. Through sounding, movement in community, and embodied conversation, we cultivate thoughtful ways of holding these different – and often conflicting – aspects of bodily experience together. The workshop series will be structured around what founder Emilie Conrad Da’oud called “the Three Anatomies.” Each week, our practice will be structured around a series of inquiries to be explored through breath, sound, and movement. Open to folks of all levels of movement experience!
