A movement workshop with Alexandra Morgan and Heidi McKenzie
How does the work you do sit inside your body, shaping the movements, postures, and pains you may feel? How does your work affect you? In this workshop, explore how the work we do impacts us. Heidi McKenzie invites you to develop greater self-awareness in order to release holding patterns that develop in how our work shapes us. Alex Morgan facilitates movements in which participants explore how their bodies hold the traces of our work. Under guidance of the facilitators, participants build movement experiences they can use in their own self-care routines.
Heidi McKenzie is a ceramics artist whose artwork is featured in the current exhibit, What We Inherit. McKenzie is also a certified Tai Chi and Chi Kung instructor who has worked in movement facilitation with seniors seeking strengthening and falls prevention, and with people with fibromyalgia and for other chronic pain management.
Alexandra Morgan (she/her) has over a decade of experience in movement education coaching a diverse roster of private clients and new instructors as a STOTT Pilates Instructor Trainer. In recent years her passion for education has led her back to her cultural roots working as Project Facilitator for tdsbCREATES, a long running collaboration between the TDSB, Toronto Arts Council and Prologue Performing Arts, and working locally as the Programming Coordinator at the Hamilton Farmers’ Market.
