Yogateacher, BMC® Somatic Movement Educator, Bodywork (Thai Massage, Osteothai, Craniosacral Therapy)

I practice and teach Conscious movement, Breath awareness and Meditation.

Bodywork for me is a holistic dialogue primarily through the use of mindful presence, cellular touch and directly working with the different structures of body and mind.

The main focus of my work encompasses the direct experiences of well-being within activity and stillness. Exploration of new spaces and possibilities to deepen the relationships between Earth, Space, Myself and Others.

Somatic Movement Educator (Body-Mind Centering®) & Choreographer, Dancer

Laura Gary is a trained Somatic Movement Educator in Body-Mind Centering®. As a choreographer and dancer, her focus is on the connection between body awareness and creative expression.

Her artistic background includes contemporary dance, somatic practice and improvisation. In her artistic work, she explores how personal stories, genealogical influences and inner emotions find expression in movement through improvisation and body awareness.

Her choreographic practice combines somatic techniques and improvisation, both on stage and in nature, inviting us to explore deeper layers of the self through dance.
