The martial arts draw on Tae Kwan Doe, Akido, and Tai Chi. The healing arts will address Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, and Yoga. By deepening awareness through these different movement forms, and learning to consciously access new movements you will become more embodied, and more capable of accessing your personal power in every day life.
