THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO MOVE YOUR BODY.

DID YOU KNOW?

THERE IS ONLY WHAT FEELS RIGHT OR WRONG FOR YOU YOURSELF. 

AND ALL OF THOSE ANSWERS ARE IN YOUR SENSATIONS. ​

THE SENSATION OF PAIN IS NOT A PLACE OF FEAR BUT A PLACE OF ACCEPTANCE.

THE BURNING SENSATION IN OUR MUSCLES IS A PLACE WHERE WE NOURISH AND GENERATE HEAT. 

Hello there! My name is Cassidy and I work with people who want to get in touch with their body for healing and nourishment. I offer a weekly movement class, open to ages 16+. Class is open to the general public and available for anyone, without the necessity of previous experience. My intention with this class is that it’s accessible for any age, any or no movement background, and any injury or limitation. I’ve had classes with ages ranging from 30 to 80, and this is my goal. I would love to invite you, especially if you’re a novice!

A bit more about class…

I am a certified Gaga teacher, and I lived in Tel Aviv, Israel during my intensive study with Gaga’s creator, Ohad Naharin.

Gaga classes are predicated on a deep activation of the body and physical sensations. The instructions are deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation, and rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience.

Class will orient around how movement feels, rather than how it looks. There are no mirrors, and participants are guided to connect their movements to their sensations (flesh, skin, bones, temperature, sight, etc.) while amplifying the quality, range, dynamic, and texture of their movements. We move together, continuously for the whole session without pauses based on overlapping instructions. Injuries or limitations are welcome, as long as you listen to your body before telling it what to do. The only pain we want is the burning sensation in our muscles. We will sweat, dance, connect effort to pleasure, and get in touch with our silliness.

The most important Gaga tool for me personally is the awareness of moving towards pleasure and joy with lightness, and intentionally away from pain and heaviness.

Ages 16+ welcome.

It is my honest desire for class to be welcoming and accessible. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you want to learn more, ask questions, and see if Gaga is the right fit for you!
