Embodiment – Strengthen your body awareness
Every monday 1 - 2 p.m.
Sports offer Embodiment course
Location: Rösp 1, University of Bonn
Dance and movement are often understood in the context of fixed steps and structures. In this course, we explore movement intuitively and work with music, breathing and body awareness. In group exercises, we use various techniques to strengthen the alternation between tension and relaxation, the flow of movement and body awareness. We learn to gently activate the body and release tension. This allows you to start the afternoon alert and mindful. If you feel like doing a little choreography, you are welcome to bring that in too.
The course is inclusive, no previous experience is necessary, and everyone is welcome! Please bring comfortable clothing and an openness to new things!
