Gentle Relaxation

Overview:

Join us in the park and move your body!

We are inviting you to our workshop during which we will try to connect with our bodies and nature. The workshop is comprised of two parts - 1) Co-created movement in pairs and 2) Progressive muscle relaxation. All of these can be done standing, sitting, or lying down, depending on your needs.

The workshop will take around an hour, but you are more than welcome to stay in the park with us and enjoy nature or leave early if you'd like!

What do I need? Comfortable clothes! If you want to lie or sit on the grass, you can also bring a blanket or a mat, but it's not necessary.
