Uncommon Sensing: Moving Beyond Your Self Image

$60.00

Our self-image is defined by how we think, what we feel and what we do. How we perceive our world is colored by our personal history which influences our actions and behavior. The limitations we experience in our life are often caused by ways of thinking, feeling, and doing that we were born into. To become more of who you would like to be is easier than you may imagine. These Awareness Through Movement lessons are designed to help you to perceive unknown aspects of yourself and fun to move beyond your self-image.
