      What move me ? How to trust my body and learn from it?

      How feeling and being free in motion can teach me about

      how I relate to myself, others and the world?

      The floor is open !

      Move & Include guided embodied session

       

      Open Floor is a lively movement practice dedicated to the art of becoming fully present in our body, being rooted & sensitive, alive & aligned in our skins both physically and emotionally, mindfully and spiritually.

      Before words, movement was our first language and way how humanity related to the world and others. We MOVE because we need to self-express, to connect to others, to be creative, to move our emotions, to feel emotional fluidity and mindfulness, to belong and for fun !

      We move & Include : we invite authenticity whatever our physical or emotional state.

       

      The movement as a learning to explore how we relate to ourself and others!

       

      Open Floor is a resource-oriented movement practice. Resourcing ourselves is an on-going process we can use to build resilience and capacity.

       

      "Somatic resources are the physical actions and capacities that support self-regulation and provide a sense of well-being, competency, and mastery. "Pat Ogden

       

      Open floor offers a simple movement vocabulary for the way human bodies are born to move, related, work, play, give, receive and rest.

      Open floor works with 10 movement resources that forms a fundamental basis for exploring life as a laboratory.

      We explore movement as a Life lab.

    • Me, Géraldine, my intention as an Open Floor teacher and facilitor

      My Intention

      My intention is to offer a space of freedom to resource, to recharge, to connect with our body and sensations through free movement in a kind, open, mindful, bodyful and playful framework. My guidance offers a precious space of freedom, trust and no judgement so that everyone could feel free being him/herself and find his/her own movement and path.

      My intention is to offer a space where where being and moving with life is a laboratory of life, where we Move & Include and learn from what we could explore from the movement, where we could MOVE, LEARN and GROW !

       

      Freedom of movement, the pure pleasure of being, in the present moment, traveling with the music and the joy to be all together in the present moment is our guidance.

      A precious space and a time to welcome what is there whatever the results, relaxing and activating, feeling our cells vibrating and connect to each other. Listening what is here with kindness and playfulness, moving what is alive inside or not, a space for you to be you with you, a space for connection and sense of belongings as well

      Freedom of movement at 360 degrees for freedom to be yourself,

      Freedom of movement for freedom of choice and Conscious decisions

       

      Playing with fundamental Life Movement Resources can transform you!

       

      My personal experience and practice:

      In a period of doubt and looking for resourcing, I started the Movement Open Floor practice in 2014. I found a place where I could resource and recharge, where I could fully express myself without any mask, where I could better know myself, how I relate to myself, with others and the world, where I could re-open some doors and free spaces inside me, where I could embody all my dreams including AWENE. I found my home in this space and I am proud and grateful to be part of the Open Floor teachers community.

      Since 2014, I enjoyed more than 500 hours of embodiment, somatic and mindfulness practices:

      ✪ Open Floor practice : >300 hours + Training of 30 days (3*10 full days on site)

      ✪ 5 rhythms, Life Art Process, Body-Mind Centering, Movement Medicine, Singular Dance, Dance therapy : 200h

      ✪ Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction : 8 weeks program

      Workshop : A quoi je dis OUI en 2020?

      Atelier de mouvement libre

      FRIDAY, 7th Feb 2020 à Paris, à l'AGORA lieu de culture

      A quoi je dis OUI en 2020 ? Une transition vers une nouvelle année nous invite à se pauser et à prendre conscience de ce que l‘on l’envie de changer ou pas, de mettre en plus ou en moins dans sa vie, de faire du tri.
      2020 est là. Comment vais-je utiliser en conscience ce temps et espace qui est la devant moi pour moi ? Comment vais-je utiliser au mieux ce temps pour dire OUI à ce qui est important pour moi ? et non à ce qui ne l’est pas ?

       

      Rejoignez-nous pour vivre un format d’atelier mélangeant mouvement, réflexion, et partage ! Un shoot d’humanité.

      Nous apprenons plus vite et mieux sur nous-même quand nous sommes impliqués, en mouvement et en utilisant l’intelligence du corps.
      La place du mouvement libre et conscient comme espace de jeu sans enjeu, de liberté, de s’autoriser à être soi, d être au plus près de qui on est avec toutes ses facettes, de se découvrir et se retrouver avec soi même.
      De sentir que rien n’est figé, de passer d’un mouvement à un autre, de sentir ce qui est présent ici et maintenant, de laisser faire et lâcher prise en faisant confiance à son corps et son énergie de vie.

       

      Rejoignez nous pour partager, nous mettre en mouvement et ancrer ce que vous voulez changer en 2020.
