Image Description: Audre receiving proprioceptive therapy on a massage table, taken at an angle from above Audre’s head and shoulders. Audre lies down with her masked face toward the ceiling. Laura’s arms extend toward her in the frame, making gentle contact with Audre’s upper rib cage underneath her collarbones and the depth of her shoulder girdle. They are both thin white femmes wearing neutral colors. Soft pink light surrounds them.
Image Description: Jesi is dancing while wearing a gray sweatshirt, her arms are lifted to shoulder height and her eyes are gently shut. A backdrop behind her glows a golden yellow.

Techniques with Jesi Cook

Friday, March 26 at 12:30-2pm EDT
*Join Jesi Cook in conversation with K.J. Holmes, Gerald Casel, and Paul Singh on Thursday, March 25 at 6pm EDT

​
ABOUT THE CLASS:
Interiors / Technique: How can we detangle fear-based training from our motor-neuro pathways to shed artififice, habits, and tension to move with clarity and ease?
This 90 minutes focuses on toning the inner to outer landscape while attempting to rewire harmful patterning caused by trauma, western dance training, and environmental stressors.
Class begins with a glacial paced warm-up using acupressure, the taoist deer practice, and lymph drainage/ breathing, to clear and connect inwards. Class then shifts to an integration of parasympathetic cueing within phrasework and improvisation scores. We’ll re-route new channels within our movement praxes as we unearth, observe and notice.

She is a Licensed Massage Therapist and healer practicing Tui-Na, Reiki, and Acupressure since   graduating from Pacific College of Health and Science in 2013.
