What drives this unique class is that we truly, deeply passionately need to move. Instead, we constrain our bodies. Tame our spirits. And forget. Forget how to move openly, without judgment, how to move for the fun of it, for the joy it brings, for the connection with self and spirit that comes with true freedom.

Open (body) Space is about exploration, about finding and following our own movement. Not because we’re told to, but because we soar to, because the desire wells up from within. We’ll explore the motivation to move, to shift our weight, build momentum, twirl, spin and jump – or to just lie on the floor and be still. We’ll explore the inner dance of breathing, pulsing, reaching and returning.

Curious? Give yourself some space at Open (body) Space, an ongoing movement workshop featuring a creative menu of Ottawa's somatic movement teachers. Be in your body – Embody your life!!

Open (body) Space is a creation of Anne Pitman and Naomi Sparrow's vivid imaginations.
