Our passion for magic.
You are magic. You can’t help it, in every movement, every breath, every fluid, every tissue, every cell. We all know this at one point as children and we see our weird wonder wherever we look, even in our own fingers and toes. But we trade in our stories of magic for new ones and we forget how to see it. But there is a very real magic in what you are, in how you move, how you think and in the way far out, wonder-filled beauty of existence itself with strange beautiful creatures, and even stranger worlds. If we were to truly see ourselves fully for just a moment, we would be in total and complete awe at what we see. So we need a new story, a way to see into that magic again. We hope this, and all of us, are a chapter in that new story.
Our vision for the academy.
The Academy of Movement and Magic is an online community inspired by movement and magic. It is a place to explore, play and discover with courses released regularly on movement, touch, somatics, breath, and more, weekly live classes, movement journeys, question and answer sessions, and discussions. It is a place to be reminded to look into the magic of what you are as a teacher or in your own movement. It is an evolving and growing library of resources and insights to practical ways to continue to explore. It is a place to help you express yourself more freely through movement in whatever practice, from yoga, to dance, to martial arts, to sports, to somatics, to whatever flavor is yours to experience. It is a playground to create your own unique experience and adventure while having others on their own journey to share with. It is a place to remind us of magic.
