Movement and doing is the nature of the body, and non-doing the nature of the mind. Yet, in our day to day lives we experience the reverse. Overcrowded minds and unmoving sitting restless bodies. We have become stiff in the body and in the mind. That is not our nature. Somewhere trapped inside all that is our true playful nature that wants to explore, engage, express, and embody life.

Think of the consciousness in a new born baby rediscovering its body for the first time every day, and the blissful glee it exudes. Today play has got reduced to engagement in structured activities. Even modern-day childhood is getting spent indoors instead of being out there in open, free spaces – running, hopping, swaying, flowing, skipping – experiencing consciousness through the body.

What would it mean to just let the body play in open, free space, uninhibited. To let it move, flow, dance, and rediscover its own nature – within and without.
What would it mean to witness your movements through the sensations, feelings and happenings in the body as you let it play?
What would it mean to pause, reset and restart towards the end of every month in 2018?

If you are new to movement and playful exploration in the body, you are encouraged to come consecutively for the first three months to experience more continuity and relaxedness in your body.
