Join us for a playful session that explores our relationship with sound, movement, and art making. Our talented friend Anh Nguyen will guide us to warm up our body and become more mindful of our muscles and body-based awareness. Participate in this connected experience, and discover our bodies’ ability to support our wellness practice through movement and creativity. Our emphasis is on PLAY!
