**Mindful Movement: A Nourishing Approach to a Strong Practice**
We will approach our dance practice with awareness placed on our mind-body connection. Mindfulness will be our guide through our practice of meditation, moving meditation, conditioning exercises, technique and drills/combos. Alongside this physical practice; grounding techniques, mind body awareness exercises(mindfulness), a focused eye and more inward understanding, will be emphasized in order to approach your dance practice with more awareness, commitment and authenticity. Moving meditations, technique and drills will be used to offer a more grounding, spacious, effective class and practice. Join Ariellah in a class that offers much self-care, grounding, and tuning in to your body and mind, whilst effectively approaching and working on your conditioning and technique. This workshop is excellent for any dancer who wants to delve deeply into their dance practice with more of a full mind and body approach. Come out of this workshop feeling calm, reinvigorated, accomplished and nourished!

After a four-year break from dance that included two years in the Peace Corps, living and working in Africa's Ivory Coast, she returned to the United States eager to learn the dance of her Moroccan ancestry.
