HIPS – Healing in Present Space

A movement experience for women, trans women and female-identifying people.

The area of the hips and pelvis are an energetic powerhouse, and are also a place where energy can become stuck, leaked or imbalanced. This can potentially lead to physical pain, compromised organ function, and a disconnection from our “gut feelings” and sexuality. When balanced, the area of the hips/pelvis, can be a place of great power and delicious transcendent pleasure. 

The initial inspiration for the HIPS practice begins here, but ultimately addresses your entire body and being. HIPS is a regenerative mindful approach to movement, that aims to regulate the nervous system, move life energy through the body, stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic flow, expand breath awareness and capacity, engage and open muscles, lubricate joints and tendons, and cultivate a heightened awareness of one's embodied experience. 

This practice can range from working with the deep and peaceful quality of stillness and subtle movement, to the revitalizing and joyful quality of energetic and expansive movement and dance. It involves working with both the strengths and challenges of your unique body/mind, supporting a deep and even profound connection, communication and communion with your body and being.

These sessions may be especially supportive, if you are:

• Preparing your body for pregnancy or hoping to conceive

• Navigating peri-menopause and menopause

• Looking to explore your sensuality

• Wanting a deeper and more compassionate relationship with the area of your pelvis/hips, physically and energetically

• Ready to nurture more mobility in your hips/spine, and ultimately your whole body

• Needing time and space to feel your own energy, your own movements, your own being

No dance experience or fitness background is required.

Only a willingness to begin where you are.
