What is Body Surf?
Body Surf is a culmination of my dance training and love of surfing - I decided to call my practice Body Surf as it combines the feeling/stoke of surfing a wave with taking a ‘somatic dive’, an experiential term used to illustrate taking the time to check in with how we are feeling in our bodies - surfing at a cellular level.
Body Surf focuses on indoor and outdoor somatic practice - our relationship to self and environment. In the future I would like to offer beginners surf sessions as a branch of Body Surfs outdoor program.
