The 3 Practices
Contact Improvisation is a form of improvised movement or dance. It takes inspiration from and involves exploration of physically being in relationship to others. We use the fundamentals of shared touch, weight, and movement awareness. Letting go of control of all that happens opens us to playfulness, surprises, creativity, dynamism and tenderness.
Partner Yoga (not to be confused with Acroyoga) allows two people to relate to and support one another’s practice through mutually assisted poses. From stretching your levels of trust to strengthening your communication, partner yoga can have a positive effect on you and your connections that extends far beyond the physical. It’s a gentle, strong practice, available for everyone’s level, including those without previous experience.
Thai Massage is a clothed massage practice. Guided and supported throughout, to release tension and stress in a safe & respectful manner. Thai Massage uses gentle pressure, stretching techniques and joint mobilisations to relax & open the body. The theory suggests that tight muscles cause blockages within energy lines, called Sen lines in the Thai Massage tradition. These blockages reduce the flow of life energy, resulting in stiffness, pain, and illness. Thai massage uses techniques that open the Sen to correct the flow of life energy.

Asher Levin has been practicing Contact Improvisation, performing physical theatre, teaching and leading workshops for over 25 years. He’s taught CI internationally since 2008. In CI, he loves the practice of learning to trust ourselves and others – even when meeting the unknown – in physical, artistic, creative and personal relationships. The ever changing orientations of CI, full of movement potential, provide him with fresh perspectives. Being off-balance, while dynamic and flowing as a creative practice is incredibly liberating.
