Candace Pert, PhD, states that "Your body is your subconscious mind". The body and the way we move shows what we believe, what our history has been, and what may be limited(ack! tight hamstrings makes it difficult for me to walk forward at the pace I want!). What is subconscious is, well, subconscious, so it is difficult to know what our body is conveying unless you tune in or get feedback from others. People who are feeling stuck, in their bodies may be feeling stuck in their minds. In ord …

It is a language that ‘speaks’ without words, and like yoga and tai chi, UZAZU has been born of embodied experience and extensive collaborative discovery.

In a society that forces us to live from our minds, we have forgotten what it means to be connected to the rest of our selves. It's not that the mind is evil, but that we can learn to integrate other parts of ourselves into our way of understanding and interacting with our world. Reconnecting to our body and our emotions, allowing ourselves to have ALL of ourselves (and not just the parts that we have somehow learned "should" be there) brings us incredible levels of energy, confidence, intuition …

Here, we can construct healthier thoughts, better guide emotions, communicate clearer, and make decisions that actually align with honest intentions. Open Focus Tra …
