-- CLASS DESCRIPTION --
Cranio-Sacral Contact
This class is a playful and somatic inquiry on how movement can spontaneously be born in the spine. By awakening the connection between head and tail (craniosacral), we will breathe and down-regulate our nervous systems so we can be moved by our spines. The arc of the experience aims to help dancers bring more fluidity, ease, and pleasure to their dance.
-- CLASS FACILITATOR --
João Paulo Pereira started improvising in contact in the mid 2000's in their homeland, Brazil, and has been exploring and sharing somatic movement for over 20 years. You can find them facilitating contact-like experiences in warm water around the Bay Area, traveling overseas to train yoga therapist, or on the mat sharing their bodywork practice. Researching playful and attuned ways to instill a 'less ambition, more curiosity' mindset in themself and other dancers is João's greatest inspiration in CI. You can follow them on www.basayoga.com
