SOMATIC rx @ Reforesters Lab with Jules 

Saturday June 28th, 4:00 PM - 5:30 pm

Somatic Rx is a 90-minute signature class for those ready to go deeper—deeper into their practice, their awareness, and their relationship to movement as more than just physical exercise. Here, movement becomes a pathway into the emotional, mental, and intuitive body.

​In this athletic and creative somatic practice, we learn to listen to the body—its signals, instincts, and edges—so we can move through life with more integrity, clarity, and freedom. Together, we work to release perfectionism, strengthen interoception, and unlock new layers of confidence, creativity, and connection.

​Each class weaves together a wide range of modalities including Pilates, fascia release, functional strength, mobility flows, dancerly movement, breathwork, nervous system support, journaling, guided improvisation, and somatic exploration. No two classes are the same; sessions shift with the season, the collective energy of the group, and what feels most alive in the moment.

​This is not about performing or getting it “right.” It’s about relating to yourself and others with greater honesty, compassion, and presence. Expect to leave feeling stronger, clearer, more grounded, and more fully yourself.

Reforesters Laboratory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn contains a listening room for spatial & sub-bass centered sound, fronted by a cafe serving gluten free, adaptogenic, chef-made foods & brews.

the psychedelic body with Jules 

Saturday July 11th, 6:00 PM - 8:00 pm

What if the most psychedelic experience available to you wasn't found outside yourself, but inside your own body?

The Psychedelic Body is a moving meditation that invites us away from perfectionism, self-consciousness, and the endless chatter of the mind and back into presence, aliveness, and connection.

We'll begin slowly, building from breath, sensory awareness, and simple somatic practices into a sweaty, cathartic experience of expressive movement.

There is no choreography to learn, no dance experience required, and absolutely no pressure to "perform."

Just an opportunity to explore, play, and remember what it feels like to be fully here.

To feel your heart pumping.

To inhabit your body more completely.

To move beyond thinking into experiencing and feeling.

Moving freely, giving ourselves permission to take up space, to listen deeply, and follow the wisdom of the body, we wake up!

We become more alive and present and connected versions of ourselves. And that, to me, is what a psychedelic experience is all about. No drugs needed!

This workshop is designed for all bodies and all experience levels, especially those who feel intimidated by "dance" with a capital D.

Come as you are, don’t forget to bring your curiosity and sense of play.

SHIFT WITH ANNIE PARR

Mondays 10:00 am, starting 6/29

💫 GOOD MOVE members get 30% off

A musically inspired, non-choreography movement lab. Annie offers prompts and suggestions to explore sensation, receptivity, transitions and texture. The class is to unlock stale movement habits to arrive into fresh pathways. The hour is driven by music, energy and tone. No class is the same because Annie guides intuitively. There is no learned choreography. Each song inspires a different place in the body. These places include the many dualities of physicality: quiet movement meditations, small articulate dances, big expressive range, locomotion/stillness, effort and release, grace and abandon, angles and curves.

Find your motion potential. Flow, de-tox, tune-in and play.

Gentle Movement + Sound Bath with Jules & Samer 

Saturday June 6th, 7:00 PM - 9:00 pm

$45 (non-members + mini members)
$36 (unlimited + deluxe members)

We love Gemini season babes but lets admit that the chaos can get us feeling a little cray cray if we don’t make time to ground.

At this time of year, the mind tends to move faster than the body: Too many tabs open, lot’s of information, social calendar on speed.

Possibly our most relaxing offering, Gentle Movement + Sound Bath is designed as the antidote to all of that.

We’ll begin with gentle but grounding core activation, mobility work, stretching, fascia release, and restorative movement to help discharge stress and reconnect you to your body. Expect a slower, more intentional pace designed to regulate the nervous system rather than overwhelm it.

From there, we’ll melt into an immersive sound bath led by Samer — allowing the body to settle, the mind to soften, and the whole system to recalibrate.

Think of this evening as a little nervous system wind down for Gemini season. A chance to drop back into the bod, deepen the breath, unclench the muscles, and sloowwwww down.

FLOWERS + CHILL member hang

Saturday May 9th, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

A very Taurus season offering for you ✿

Join us for a cozy, sensory evening at the studio as we create our own hand-crafted bouquets, just in time for Mother’s Day. Think fresh blooms, soft music, something to sip, and nowhere to rush off to.

This is about slowing down. Touching something beautiful. Hanging out with your dance friends.

Whether you’re making something for someone you love or just giving yourself a moment to receive, this is your invitation to unwind, connect, and enjoy a softer pace.

Sign up by May 5th — come linger with us 🌷

Somatic Resonance — An Exclusive Sound & Reiki Experience

Saturday 4/25, 7:00 pm-8:30 pm

$40 (non-members + mini members)
$32 (unlimited members)
Free (deluxe members)

Somatic Resonance is a collaborative project combining group reiki facilitated by Nanse Kawashima with music by Bryce Hackford.

All materials have their resonant frequencies. Bryce Hackford intuitively tunes to the resonant frequencies of human body in meditated performance and observation. These tones generally center lower thresholds of human hearing and can be psychoactive. A viscous music, not unlike cuddling up to a giant cat; you are the glass of water on the dashboard.

Reiki is a well-known form of energy healing with origins in Japan, where it was founded by Mikao Usui in 1922. As a Reiki practitioner, Nanse Kawashima works with universal life force energy while engaging with clients, employing a gentle, light touch of the hands on various energy centers throughout the body. Results can vary significantly; clients often report experiencing a sense of groundedness, inner peace and comforting feeling of coming home to their true self; senses of realignment, recentering and expansiveness. This therapeutic practice is considered beneficial for various imbalances and discomforts in body, mind and spirit.

Kawashima and Hackford view their respective practices as complementary, synergistically blending sound and energy vibrations. When the two resonances merge, they foster a unique sensorial experience, allowing people to drift into relaxation or deepen their bodily awareness.

DANCING THE TAROT

Saturday, 3/28, 6:45pm-8:15pm

$45 (non-members + mini members)
$40.50 (unlimited & deluxe members)

Tony Bordonaro is an intuitive card reader, yoga and meditation teacher, and choreographer whose work blends tarot, movement, and embodied intuition. After years performing in immersive theater productions including Sleep No More and Life & Trust, he brings over 12 years of Vedic meditation practice and his experience teaching improvisation (The Ailey School, Rutgers, LIU) into playful, grounding experiences designed to get energy moving and curiosity flowing.

We’ll kick things off with a collective tarot pull to see what energies are in the room, then let the cards lead us into movement. Good Movers will be guided through a playful, improvisational exploration designed to shake loose stuck energy, wake up the body, and flirt with the unknown. This is about getting energy moving again - out of stagnation, into sensation, and galloping forward toward the abundance of 2026. No dance or tarot experience needed. Just bring your body, your curiosity, and your desire for freedom!
