Experience the intelligent body that you are, in community.
Classes and practice retreats offer an opportunity to learn in community and meet others who are embodiment-minded. My goal is to create a supportive and playful experiential-learning atmosphere in which people feel comfortable to participate fully.
Customized classes and practice retreats also are available. You and your colleagues can learn self-care tools while re-filling your well and relaxing.
Contact Marla to talk about customized classes or practice retreats.
