The Fluid Body: Dynamic Pathways in Continuum Movement®

Continuum Movement® (CM) is a somatic practice that combines breath, vocalization (sounding), and intuitive movement to tap into the fluid nature of the body. Modern life—with its impossible work expectations, oppressive structures, and unlivable environments—can disconnect the body from its inherently fluid, lively, and creative state. Through gentle explorations, CM practices teach us to move the body intuitively by listening to the language of sensation, while giving full permission to be guided by pleasure and ease. Unlike other movement modalities that focus on physical form and external technique, Continuum teaches us to slow down and trust the body—regardless of how the movement appears on the outside. Continuum may be of particular interest to people who want to move their bodies in community without pressure or expectation about how the movement “looks.” In Continuum, we generally practice with eyes closed, lying on the floor, and emphasize trust, agency, and empowerment in movement.

In this workshop series, we will explore five dynamic pathways in Continuum – ground, space, gravity, waves, and spirals. Each week, we will explore how attention to each pathway supports fluidity in the body.

*Please note that this event was previously scheduled on Saturdays and has shifted to Sundays. New schedule updated below. 

Class Schedule

• Week 1, Oct 13, Ground: We explore what supports the body, playing with what happens when we soften into ground and actively resist it.

• Week 2, Oct 27, Space: We see what happens when we shift our relationship to space – seeing it as a potent, alive resource, and anything but empty.

• Week 3, Nov 10, Gravity: We explore gravity as a source of belonging – and as a force that buoys rather than weighs down.

• Week 4, Nov 24, Waves: Activating the first three pathways, we play with waves as a teacher of what it means to both allow and respond.

•  Week 5, Dec 8, Spirals: We explore spirals as a universal bio-motif and movement pathway that enables versatility, innovation, and possibility in the body.
