Let yourself Be Moved!

Mondays, 5-6 pm, beginning September 14th
Mahone Bay Centre Gymnasium

Be Moved is a mindful dance fitness class.

Explore your unique range of movement with a mix of patterned steps and playful personal expression. Building safe movement practice with layers and options, we will stimulate brain/body connections with interesting moves of low and high energy.

Be Moved is a gentle, playful class to help you reconnect with yourself and others as we share the dance floor in rhythmic exploration. You’ll be challenged, you’ll find flow, and you’ll leave feeling energized and connected.

Adaptable for all levels of fitness, seated movement is an option. Barefoot or clean running shoes. Please bring water.

Kathleen Naylor is a Counselling Therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. She’s been offering somatic movement classes on the south shore for 15 years.

It's always free to come and try a class, and see if it's a good fit for you.

Class cards: 5 for $70 (including HST), 10 for $130, and drop in fee is $15. Payment can be made in cash, check or e-transfer to [email protected]

Yes, sometimes there's laughter in the 'therapy room'! It's good medicine, after all...

Sometimes it's just about feeling lighter. Gathering the skills to feel content in your life. Kathleen can help. www.moving-through.ca

Coming up on June 5th: one more Just Dance evening before our summer pause. Such a wonderful feeling to spend time dancing in community!

It’s really helpful for us to confirm attendance so we know who to expect.

A few updates for current clients: I'm temporarily using the small back office space instead of my regular office. My Jane online booking system will say 'Contact to Book', and if you'd like one of those times you see as available, just message me and I'll book it for you, and provide more details about this temporary shift in space.

My sincere hope is that this will be sorted very soon.

Also - I have some professional development and personal days booked off in May/June, and two weeks of vacation booked June 26-July 10.

If you have difficulty finding a time that can work for you, please reach out and we'll see what's possible. Thanks, and take care.

Thanks for your flexibility and advance planning!

Last week I had a bit of a tricky situation, and needed some quick brainstorming on a temporary space. I'm grateful we were able to make things work where my office is, at Posture Perfect Health. (Thank you to Cynthia Lohnes-Ferrolino!)

In the early hours of 'uh-oh', though, Kelly at The Mahone Bay Centre was responsive and supportive, and ready with some details on an option that could have worked.

I'm grateful for her flexibility and support of me and all the small business owners/program leaders who are part the MBC Community. I've been teaching a weekly dance class there for 15 years, and always feel like the Centre is part of my home-space.

Thank you Kelly!
