Movement as Medicine
Chiron, a centaur from Greek mythology, symbolizes the wounded healer who lives despite his wounds and uses his whole being to heal himself and then share that hard gained knowledge with others. Chiron reveals that we all have wounds and we all have ways in which we survive those wounds, and the ways with which we survive, inform the way we live. This manifest in the body and in the mind and can help us much as they can hinder. By embracing all the parts of yourself, even if some feel strange, or wild, you get to know them and perhaps understand them. Our bodies are designed to move. It is through movement that we become embodied, aware, present and it is through this presence that we begin to heal.

That Funky Monkey!
Pole dance workshop focusing on Brass Monkey
There are at least 20 ways to get in (and out of) a Brass Monkey! We are going to learn quite a few of them. This variety of entries and exits makes Brass Monkey an essential move in any pole dancers repertoire. Its a choreographer's dream; when in doubt, Brass Monkey! There is a variation for every skill level, so whether you are new to the position or an OG monkey, this workshop will give you the skills to push a little but farther and discover something new.
While the monkey is an inversion, an ability to do an invert (chopper) on the pole is not required. However the ability to climb the pole is a must.
