Are you struggling to get back into the swing of the "new normal" as a dancer, artist, and human?
What does getting back into your body really entail, and what the heck does it even mean to "be in shape" right now? Are you practicing patience, or trying to live up to unrealistic expectations you have created for yourself? 🤷🏻‍♀️
Do those questions feel overwhelming? 😖Yup, we get it... and we feel you. 💕 We want to discuss these tough questions, share a Pilates-based movement practice, and guide you through breathwork and journaling prompts that will help you gain perspective and help you move forward into Fall! 🍁🍁🍁

🌉 Let's bridge the gap between ✨time home over the last six months—out of your normal community, practices, training... with the space to go inward, heal, reflect, do less—✨with time now as you may be getting back to dancing, rehearsing, or whatever feels like your (new) “normal life.”
How do you intentionally carry with you any beneficial shifts you may have experienced through the forced hiatus? What has this time made you realize you value and appreciate from your community and career? Has this time where you were more human than dancer opened up new perspectives for how you relate to your body, how you use your energy?
BTB’s September workshop offers tools for you to take with you and integrate as you re-enter or rebuild your life as a dancer.
This includes intelligent mindful movement based in Pilates, Yoga, breath work, meditation, journal prompts, community engagement, and more.
We will continue offering monthly virtual workshops building on these themes, as well as others we've developed through the last two years of working with you in studio and on Zoom.
Option for single workshop or 4-workshop package. Register online

🧘Guided Breath Awareness

Simply breathing and being is equally important as moving and doing. 🧘
This guided breath awareness is similar to our last video encouraging easeful functional diaphragmatic breath.
This time we use the image of light traveling through the body rather than nerding out as hard and bringing the mind’s eye into the sensations of the breath moving the viscera.
Both intentions and points of awareness bring us into the body and the present moment.
Which version resonates more for you?!?

Diaphragmatic Breathing in Pilates for Dancers

Breathe for a minute. It will help.
Breathwork has become the keystone to our practice now more than ever.
As we cope with the constant uncertainty + simultaneous monotony and uncontrollable changes currently consuming our world and lives, reconnecting to the breath again and again is crucial for well-being.
is directing breath awareness here by connecting to sensations in the deepest visceral layers, as air travels in and out of the lungs and the diaphragms helps us to breathe fully.
Try following along to the video and let us know how it feels for you!👇
Breathe, move, and connect to yourself and our lovely BTB community.
