Asya Bykova. Body Awareness Practice: Confidence

🌟 Join us at Arc Space London for an enriching session of Body Awareness Practice led by the talented dancer and certified Somatic Movement instructor, Asya Bykova! 🌟
On this occasion, we will dive into the theme of Confidence. What is it about?
It's a unique way to work with the body as a system that inherently knows more than we presume. We learn to observe our internal states and utilize this awareness as valuable information. In the context of confidence, it’s about discovering the bodily states that allow confidence to arise naturally.
Throughout the practice, we'll explore four main topics:

• Grounding: The ability to quickly connect with your body and your environment.
• Body Axis: An inner support that remains stable regardless of external circumstances.
• Presence Under Pressure: Maintaining your sense of self during challenging situations and conversations.
• Movement from Impulse: Trusting your body before your mind has a chance to overthink.
  By the end of the session, participants will experience a tangible sensation of support in their bodies, leading to a profound sense of presence. Many find their minds becoming quieter, not because thoughts have stopped, but because something deeper emerges within them—a feeling of readiness to express, move, and simply exist.
  This practice is ideal for:
• Individuals experiencing high cognitive loads, constantly engaged in decision-making and communication under creative and managerial pressures.
• Those who lead others, make decisions, and are deeply involved in creative processes but often treat their bodies merely as support for their minds.
• Anyone wanting to cultivate confidence from within rather than relying on external circumstances.
  This workshop welcomes both seasoned practitioners and newcomers alike.
  Over the course of two hours, we’ll alternate between standing, walking, stopping, and sitting. We’ll engage with our body weight, spine, and the organization of our bodies within space while exploring conscious movement. As the session progresses, the music will grow louder, inviting more freedom and amplitude into our movement.
