Savor Good Feelings - Somatic Freestyle Dance Practice

This 10-minute somatic freestyle dance practice is an invitation to acknowledge, express, and linger in good-feeling emotions.

So often, we focus on moving through discomfort, tension, or stress. But our bodies also need practice staying with pleasure, ease, joy, gratitude, aliveness, and the moments that feel good.

In this practice, I’ll offer loose movement prompts, but the real invitation is to follow what feels good inside of you. There is no choreography and no right way to move. You can let your body stretch, sway, dance, smile, soften, or simply enjoy being present with what feels alive.
