Embody & Flow is a six-week belly dance group designed as a somatic movement practice. It encourages self-expression, emotional integration, and a deep connection to the body. Rooted in the ancient traditions of belly dance, this practice serves as a pathway to release, embodiment, and inner balance. Through isolated movement of the hips, chest, ribs, belly, and spin you will develop awareness of how emotion and trauma live in your body. This develops interoception - your ability to feel the body’s signals like tension, flow, and release, which is central to trauma healing and emotional regulation. Belly dancing engages the places where trauma is often held: the pelvis, diaphragm, and lower back. Undulating and shaking movements can gently release tension and restore a sense of safety and grounding. This form of movement offers a non-verbal outlet for emotions like grief, joy, anger, and sadness. While helping clients explore themes of power, containment, and softness. All genders, body types, experiences and fitness levels are welcome! Learn more on our website at https://rootsandbranchestherapy.nyc/somatic-movement/
