Movement  in Recovery

MOVEMENT IN RECOVERY

Options in Recovery & Syzygy Dance Project Options in Recovery Program
 

​In this movement practice, we use movement to express repressed emotions healthily.

​We explore what it feels like to support and feel supported by others, how to trust in relationships, and face life’s challenges with conviction and commitment.

Part of the recovery process of staying sober is creating new patterns of being and thinking, new behaviors, connection with others, and expressing emotions safely and healthily.  

We can do this work in one-on-one sessions or small groups of two to six participants. The sessions include talking about what the individual is working on and the goals in recovery. 

We explore what is challenging recovery, how to move through any obstacles, and release them from the mind and the places where they live in the body. 


This program ...

  1. Helps participants stay sober by releasing stress, calming the mind, and regulating the nervous system through movement exercises
  2. Provides ways of letting go of unhealthy stories, and negative thoughts we tell ourselves.
  3. Increases self-esteem and altering unhealthy patterns by increasing body awareness and finding new ways of moving through life challenges
  4. Brings into the body what participants may be working on cognitively and learning to express through movement
  5. Connectsto something bigger than us (a higher power), tapping into creativity, play, joy, and peace.
