During Motor Babbling, we will move as if for the first time, giving ourselves freedom to babble.Trying out different ways of experiencing movement within a low-stakes learning environment. Time and space to PLAY and renegotiate what it means to exist.

Somatic Inquiry Practice www.lauravward.com/store/p20/Th...
During The Spiral Dance we will invite our bodies to attune to the biomorphic tensegrity found within our fluids and fascia. We will offer our embodied awareness a chance to open into spaciousness with novel movement, sound, and vibration.

During Letting Go, Making Space we invite our bodies to soften and release armoring, bracing, and clenching patterns that we've taken on to cope with our environment. We will offer our embodied awareness a chance to open into spaciousness with novel movement and vibration.

Space in motion and in progress. Making shapes and coloring them in is incredibly therapeutic for me.
Colorful triangles and circles of different shapes and sizes collide and overlap. Colored pencils on paper.

This Heart Thrum focuses on connecting to our hearts. We will use several sounds and breaths from Continuum and pranayama. Micro-movement and imaginal practice will guide us deeper into presence.

A dancer with red hair is seen from the back in a black leo & shorts. She wraps her arms around her leg which is up in a split. She stands on sand in front of a cave cleft into the rock. The rock rises jagged into the sky. This is an ad for a ballet barre class with Laura V Ward on Mondays at 5:30 on zoom.

The rare moment when Lord Gaylord allows Squeaky Deaks to snuggle up and touch him.
A brindle and white cat and an all-white cat sleep next to each other, mirroring, necks and shoulders touching like 2 kidney beans on a white couch with a white knit blanket.

The Peapod sleeps holding her head, exposing the single pea on her belly.

Icy morning walks connect me to the elements. Finding refuge in the biting cold.
The sun peeks through some winter bare trees, across the snow covered Rondout Creek. The shadows of the trees loom towards the viewer across the snow. There are some animal prints on one side in the snow.

It was 0 degrees F when I went for my walk yesterday; still, you can see a shipping line down the center of the Rondout.
