Happy Body is offering a donation-based Block Therapy for Trauma Class on Saturday, November 2nd from 1-3pm at 25 Reed St Suite 210. You must register to attend as space is limited. Pay what you can.

This block therapy class will be focusing on the whole body to move stuck energy from pain and trauma. This is a slow and relaxed class focusing on connecting to full conscious breath to open areas where emotions are stored in the fascia. Pain, fear, and stress cause us to hold our breath as a protective mechanism to shield ourselves. When breath becomes paralyzed from trauma pain and stress, there is no movement of that energy out of the body. In this class, we will be releasing past/current patterns of breathing, created by trauma, pain, and stress. Our breath is directly connected to our nervous system, so this practice relaxes the nervous system so the body can get out of flight and flight or freeze and into rest, digest, and heal.

We are a loving, kind, and safe dance community and highly encourage masking during the dance. No derogatory comments in relation to masking will be tolerated! We encourage non-maskers to mask while partnering with a dancer wearing a mask, or to at least ask if the person would like them to mask while they dance with them.

Private times to receive from the closet can also be arranged during the week depending on to the dance organizer’s availability.
