From Body to Body ’25
With Gisela Dória
Interdisciplinary movement practices
School year 2025/26
Monday | 19h30-21h00
These classes are for anyone who wants to explore the body in action and discover the pleasure of moving — with or without dance experience.
Inspired by techniques such as contemporary dance, Pilates, Gyrokinesis®, and other somatic practices, Gisela Dória leads a process-oriented work that values the uniqueness of each body, developing physical awareness and sensory perception.
More than simply combining methods, the classes integrate different approaches to expand the pleasure of movement, physical functionality, and vitality. They also create space for continuous self-observation and reflection about our bodies.
These sessions are designed for those who, instead of a traditional gym setting, prefer a creative and welcoming environment.
[Gisela Dória]
Duration: 1h20
For: adults of all ages, no technical prerequisites
Note: classes begin in October
