movement therapy

MOVEMENT THERAPY Movement therapy can be described as having two aspects or meanings. There's the psycological aspect and the physical aspect. The first is about our inhibitions, beliefs and feelings around our bodies and the expression we channel through them. Working with our present perceptions around movement plays an intricate role in the freedom of our dance. Secondly, the physical aspect is about analyzing the technicalities within our body mechanics. Assessing what muscles or body parts are out of alignment can be extremely helpful when learning to move without limits.
