Ahimsa

​

Remember when you were a child, you are living completely authentically. We feel all the signals of our bodies and we follow them immediately. We are totally present and honest with ourselves. Growing up we start using our body as a self-value-building mechanism, we start ignoring body wisdom and manipulating it in a very violent way. When we want to scream we can’t, when we need support we are afraid to ask, we control ourselves too much and lots of our problems just because of that. Losing the connection with the body, we can feel lost and stuck, anxious, suppressed, full of fear... 

Based on the natural body wisdom movement can heal, and the body could be the eternal source of pleasure. The value of the deep connection with the body is priceless, and we can create or rather come back to this awareness level and freedom as in childhood.

Ahimsa is a unique movement therapy session created by Mitya Staev. It is opened for everyone. All ages, genders identity and body awareness levels are welcome for this session.  

If you tried to release your problems working with peripheral life aspects, it’s time to go directly to the source. This journey is full of primal knowledge which we used to ignore in a postmodern society. Mitya invites you to come back to your genuine relationship with the body, play the games such as contact improvisation, acro yoga, and be brave enough to simply Relax, Trust and Follow.
