“Coming Home” A Breath and Meditational Movement Class
 

You are living…breathing…creativity in motion. Inner Rhythms is the foundation of all movement, the space in which all life, motion, and creation emerges from. This class guides you deeply inside, to listening, to sensing, and to moving from the subtle stir of movement already happening within you. It takes time and space to drop inside, deep enough to contact this space. This journey is both deeply restorative, healing and very practical. Whether you are just beginning or very advanced with this practice, you will gain a new level of access to your subconscious, intuition, and entire physical system.

THURSDAY


The GYROKINESIS® Method
Presented by Andrea McGinnis
Picture

​Date: Every Thursday Morning
Time: 8:30am-10:00am
Cost: $15 Single; $55 Series of 4

Location: Continuum Studio Santa Monica, California


Originally called “Yoga for Dancers", GYROKINESIS® is an exercise system that holistically addresses the entire body, awakening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing the range of motion and creating functional, supple strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. Gentle, yet invigoratingly challenging, Gyrokinesis stimulates the aerobic and cardiovascular systems, elongates the musculature, and is especially supportive for restoring healthy alignment of the spine. Exercises are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, making the follow-along class feel more like a combination of dance, swimming, gymnastics, and tai-chi than traditional yoga. Accessible to all levels, from those recovering from injury to highly-trained athletes, this system helps to educate the body to move with a dynamic sense of relaxation, power, vitality and balance.

​Continuum Weekly Classes 

Presented by Emma Destrube
Picture

​Date: Every Sunday Night 
​
(Unless otherwise noted, please check)
Time: 7:00pm-9:30pm
Cost: Donation
Location: Continuum Studio Santa Monica, California


Continuum is a gentle, restorative, somatic movement practice that focuses on developing internal sensation and awareness. We use breath, sounding and subtle movement to soften our restrictive movement patterns and cultural conditioning so that we can regain access to and revel in our bodies' innate wisdom, responsiveness, and healing potential. Rather than viewing the body as an object, Continuum explores the body as a living process. Continuum has been shown to be beneficial for pain, chronic injury and other physical limitations, including groundbreaking work with paralysis, and promotes deep relaxation, wellbeing and a sense of connectedness. 

Open to all levels of experience. Please RSVP and arrive at 6:45pm if you are new. For more information and to RSVP: 424-645-7849/ emma@fiveriversholistic.com/ facebook group.

Time: 2:00pm-5:00pm
Cost: 
$30 Pre-register; $35 Door
Location: Continuum Studio Santa Monica, California

In this class I guide us into a deep somatic journey, a meditative “dive" through the world within... Exploring the inner landscape of our bodies using the power of sound, breath, and creative imagery, we give the space to listen to the innate fluid language of our tissues, connecting with the timeless, wild rhythms of our biological knowing, learning how innately and intimately our physicality communicates, guides us, we drop beneath the cultural patterning and pace, slowing down in curiosity, to allow what is real to emerge from the depths, unraveling the accumulated masks of layers, transforming old patterns into new movement potential--discovering ever deeper, the physical freedom of the body as Creature....

Please bring
 
blankets, pillows, eyemasks, mats, & any other ​cozy things you love​ for creating your  personal ​
dive launchpad!
