Meet Rebecca
Movement is my love language. My passion for movement began early as I developed appreciation for dance. My movement practice has taken twists, turns, leaps, and pauses as invites me to expand. My passion is to offer support and guidance to help people develop and nurture joy in moving.
My motto is: Breathe to move, move to live.
I believe regular movement enhances joy, expands physical and spiritual balance, and provides an outlet for creativity and healing. Over the past 25 years teaching movement, I have witnessed the power it has to holistically enrich lives and bring people together. I am grateful for my journey teaching and moving in a way that expands my capacity for navigating the waves of life. Yoga, tai chi, qigong, dance, and breathing practices have offered healing and comfort in seasons of grief, depression, and anxiety.
I truly enjoy teaching and practicing styles of mindful movement that call on deep body wisdom and fullness of being alive. I love moving outside and often benefit from the saying, move a muscle change a thought. It has worked for me countless times! I continue to learn and build on formal and informal educational experiences.
