What am I returning to?
How does it feel to come back after distance, pause, or change?
Where do I land when I arrive in my body or back into my practice in the here and now?
This month we honor the act of coming back — to practice, to community, to the body, to ourselves. “Returning” invites new attention and intention: the gentle re-entry after pause or hiatus, one that may be forced or chosen. Together we make a conscious choice to step back into movement, creativity, and connection, exploring the different ways we “arrive” again (and again).

What can my body be shaped to become?
What forms, energies, or characters want to emerge in my movement?
What parts of me are ready to transform through shape?
In October we explore transformation — through form. Shapeshifting asks us to embody change: to move between strength and vulnerability, stillness and wildness, human and creature, self and other. Facilitators invite play within the body through creative shape-making, character, or even archetypes — loosening the boundaries of what movement and presence can be.

What happens when I let myself yield, rather than push?
Where do I long to soften?
How do I experience strength through gentleness or vulnerability?
This month we lean into the quiet power of softening. Softness is not weakness, but deep strength: the ability to yield, receive, and open. It can be the pause after effort, the exhale after expansion, the tenderness underneath defenses. Classes may focus on gentleness, surrender, intimacy with sensation, and finding fluidity through relaxation.

DROP-IN ONLY? SIGN UP COMING SOON
What am I ready to let go of?
How does it feel in my body to release, soften, or surrender?
What space is created when I put something down?
As the year closes, we honor the act of release — letting go of what no longer serves, loosening our grip, and creating room for what’s next. Release can be physical (tension, effort), emotional (old narratives, stored feelings), or creative (unfinished cycles, lingering attachments). Facilitators might explore exhalation, unwinding, cathartic movement, helping you to create space to breathe and move through the end of this year.
