Continuum with Emma Destrubé - Somatic Movement Classes

Continuum with Emma Destrubé - Somatic Movement Classes Somatic movement and embodied breathwork classes for everyone with Emma Destrubé.

*Please RSVP and arrive 15 minutes early if you are new to Continuum*

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. Continuum is also employed by artists to dissolve creative blocks and support creativity and improvisation. It has influenced the fields of dance, bodywork, movement therapy, performance, psychotherapy and more.

In this four week online series, we will explore the late-summer harvest season as it lives and moves in our soma, drawing from the poetry and wisdom of traditional Taoist medicine. The living earth element — the elemental correspondence of the late summer — represents our center. It is the axis around which our energy turns, and the digestive cauldron of transformation from which we receive nourishment and process the world.
The Earth element governs our capacity (or challenge) to metabolize and assimilate our experiences and the world around us to create internal stability, our boundaries, our reciprocity with the earth, our need to give and receive to actualize our potential, and the movement of centering for ease of mind and clarity of our thoughts + needs. We will play with these themes through gentle movement and breath practices.
This four week online series allows for a cumulative experience, and the opportunity to deepen your practice in a kind, caring group container. This class series is the final of five seasonal classes that began in late fall 2020. Tracking the seasonal turning within our bodies has offered grounded perspective as we've navigated the unfamiliar landscape around us this year. Newcomers are welcome; participation in earlier series is not required.

For those of you who were in class yesterday, here is some inspiration / visual representation of "involutionary" vortices of movement in fluids. As you look at this flat image, remember that it's happening in three dimensions +. Try to sense into it and feel the movement in your body.

As promised, here is the link to listen to my recent interview, "Resting into Innovation", for Teri Carter's Somatic Speaker Summit. I'm speaking about the intersection between somatics and creativity, what innovation means to me, and how we can source artistic pursuits from the body. (Recording starts at 3:30 mins)

You can purchase downloads of all the past interviews at http://tericarter.com/SomaticSummit.html . Check them out - there are some amazing speakers. It's a wonderful resource.

I'm also contributing a special offer of super-reduced ($35!) phone/Skype private Continuum session to support the Summit, which you can access by signing up at the link above.

See you all in class this evening. We'll be exploring the somatic principle of resting into gravity. I hope you can join us. As always, if you are new to Cotinuum, please arrive at 6:45 for a short introduction.

See you all this evening 🌊✨

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow for the first class back after our summer hiatus! See you at 7pm.

*I will also be teaching tomorrow, Sunday, morning* 9-11:30 am exploring the embryological development of our limbs as part of SOMAfest. The originally scheduled teacher is unable to make it, so I will be teaching in her place.

Hope to see you tomorrow. Come to both classes and give yourself a daylong workshop! :)

My Continuum classes resume this Sunday, September 4th and will continue on Sunday evenings as an ongoing, weekly class 7-9pm. I'm looking forward to being back!

Sept 4th class will be a part of SOMAfest, the 10th annual somatic movement arts festival. It is an inspiring week of classes, workshops and performances in a wide range of somatic modalities featuring some incredible local and international teachers. I highly recommend you check it out. SOMAfest classes are $30, but regulars to my class may still pay for it by donation if needed. There are also work-study opportunities available if you are interested in participating in more of the festival. Hope to see you there!

Classes are open to all levels of experience. If you are new to the work, please rsvp and arrive 15 minutes early so I can give you an intro.

There is free parking in the lot right outside. The studio is in the dark blue building.

Wear comfortable clothing that doesn't restrict your movement. You may want to bring a blanket to lay on - we work on a soft, padded floor, but it's nice to have something between skin and carpet.
