Slow down, release unnecessary tension, and explore a different way of relaxing through movement, respectful touch and connection.
No previous experience · No partner needed
This workshop explores relaxation through movement, body awareness, touch and guided partner work.
We’ll explore a mix of individual and partner practices, which may include shaking, self-massage, somatic movement, and exercises based on support, trust, weight-sharing and attentive touch.
You’ll explore what happens when you do a little less: allowing the floor, gravity or another person to support some of your weight, being moved rather than always initiating movement yourself, and noticing where unnecessary effort can be reduced.
We’ll move between active movement and letting go, giving support and receiving it, exploring different ways of finding more ease and comfort in the body.
The workshop draws from my experience with dance and Thai Yoga Massage, as well as somatic approaches including Body-Mind Centering®.
What will we explore?
Depending on the session, we may work with:
- Breath and body awareness
- Shaking, self-massage and different ways of releasing unnecessary tension
- Somatic movement focused on sensation and perception
- Yielding and allowing yourself to be moved
- Guided partner exercises and massage exchanges
- The balance between active movement and letting go
The exact exercises may vary, but the focus remains on exploring relaxation, support and greater ease through the body.
Is this workshop for me?
This workshop may be for you if you’re curious about finding different ways to relax, becoming more aware of how you use effort, or experiencing movement in a way that isn’t focused on choreography, performance or getting things “right.”
You don’t need any previous experience in dance, somatic movement or bodywork, and you don’t need to come with a partner.
The exercises are guided and exploratory, and you can choose how you participate and what kind of contact you are comfortable with.

About the facilitator
Agnieszka Pietruczuk
Agnieszka lives and dances in Brussels. She began dancing at the age of five, first training in ballet and later moving into contemporary dance. She completed a two-year contemporary dance instructor programme and holds a diploma certified by the Polish Ministry of Culture.
Her practice has since expanded through somatic approaches to movement, Body-Mind Centering, capoeira and forró, as well as different forms of bodywork. She has trained extensively in Thai Yoga Massage and Kobido, bringing hands-on work and a deeper exploration of anatomy, touch and body awareness into her practice.
Across dance, movement and bodywork, she is interested in how we organise the body, relate to gravity and support, and find more possibilities for moving with awareness and ease.
