Chiang Mai, Thailand

Exploring the human body in motion and how to encourage our experience of its grace and balance has been my passion for over 40 years. Originally from Canada, I majored in Philosophy at the University of Toronto, then did graduate studies in Philosophy & History of Science at Oxford University. I came to the Bay Area in 1985 to pursue my interest in Iyengar Yoga and Dance (Postmodern, Contact Improvisation, Mask Dance, Butoh). Dance remains my fundamental means of self-exploration and self-expression, especially the 5Rhythms approach developed by Gabrielle Roth and DANCEmandala. I have been studying and practicing Rolf Structural Integration since 2002 and taught Clinical Anatomy at San Francisco School of Massage 2008-2015. Since moving to Thailand I’ve been facilitating DANCEmandala and Ecstatic Dance CNX, and teaching Living Anatomy to dancers and other movers in Chiang Mai as www.MovingIntoBalance.com!
