A practice you come back to that works on you as a person.
We practice to get stronger, more coordinated, more mobile, more expressive, more capable. Then the work deepens. You start to notice how you meet difficulty, how you learn, how you recover, how you relate to other people — and how much of practice is simply the willingness to return to that space.
Most people here are wanting to create something. A life, a feeling, a purpose, a connection, a depth. This is a practice ground for agency, perception and action.
This movement school grew out of the closure of ApeCo Denver, which is where most of our practitioners started with their movement practice.
As a teacher my own education is not finished. I am a student first, passing along my process and creating containers to help others expand. I've been a therapeutic bodyworker for seven years; I practice the art of healing touch and presence. I see athletes, parents, college students, the elderly. All ages, all backgrounds. Denver Movement School is for any age and capability; only the willingness to learn and develop is required.
Coordination begins with disorientation. Strength comes through stressing the tissue, failure reps and recovery. Skill grows through repeated contact with the edge of your current ability. Movement practice is a vehicle for your development, interconnected through the fabric of the rest of your life.
