Movement artist Andrew Pearson leads a workshop around Bodies in Play – an original physical practice informed by concert dance techniques, Yogic philosophy and holistic approaches to fitness and exercise.

Make sure to notify the instructor about any accessibility needs so they can be mindful of them.

Bodies in Play is part of our NO CRUISING program, at NAVEL from May 16–18. A portion of this program’s proceeds will be donated to the California Coalition for Women Prisoners’s #MeTooBehindBars initiative.
