Mindful Dynamite PlayLab + Tango Workshop with Renee Tillotson & Josefina S

Do you teach, coach, or guide people in movement?

The Academy of Mindful Movement is hosting its first-ever IN PERSON Instructor Level 1 Training on January 18-23 2026 and you're invited!

Not quite ready to commit? Join us for this FREE 75-minute PlayLab + Tango workshop with Founder & Master Trainer Renee Tillotson and Argentine Tango Maestra Josefina Stellato to get an inside look at the training experience.

We’re looking for 10 qualified  professional movement instructors l to explore new techniques for bringing more ease, awareness, and “that feels good” moments into movement. To join us, you’ll have at least 5 years of personal practice in your movement field and a minimum of 2 years of teaching or coaching it.

Join us for a rich and inspiring PlayLab led by Renee Tillotson, Founder and Master Trainer of the Academy of Mindful Movement, together with Josefina Stellato, celebrated Argentine Tango maestra known for her fluidity, grace, and expressive connection.

This special session blends mindful movement techniques with the elegance and relational intelligence of tango, creating a space for play, discovery, and embodied learning.

In the first half of the workshop, Renee will guide you through mindful movement explorations designed to deepen body awareness, awaken intuitive motion, and cultivate a responsive and playful presence. Using techniques from the Academy, you’ll discover how to make a variety of movements even more fun and joyful!

In the second half, the focus shifts toward tango-inspired partner and solo movement, where Josefina introduces principles of lead–follow communication, connection through the heart center, balance, and dynamic flow. You’ll discover how mindful movement enhances the essence of tango—whether or not you have any dance experience.

Throughout the PlayLab, Renee and Josefina will offer short lecture moments, highlighting the Academy’s mindful movement methodology and how it not only helps us as teachers, coaches and instructors but also enhances the experience for our movers!

We’ll close with an open Q&A, giving space for reflections, curiosities, and personal insights.

This workshop welcomes movers of all levels—no tango experience required. Come ready to explore, connect, and experience the joy and artistry of mindful movement with two masterful guides.

Each workshop is limited to 10 qualified professional movement instructors so we can keep the space intimate, interactive, and hands-on.
