About this Course

In contemplative community, dance from autumn darkness to winter light, celebrating the changing of the season through movement and breath. World music sets the rhythm to a practice that includes meditation, intuitive dance and circle dancing from different lineages. Adults only please.

She is a Research Consultant, Program Coordinator and Certified Yoga Therapist at the Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre, offering evidence-informed one-on-one care for those experiencing shock, grief, anxiety, depression, treatment side effects, trauma and persistent pain. Her Year to Breathe program is a year-long svādhyāya practice for yoga practitioners, teachers and therapists to befriend their own grief and mortality, resource a love of life and widen their availability and authenticity in professional practice. At Bad Dog Studio, Anne offers slow inquiry-based, non-insistent practice, workshops and co-regulated, compassionate care for the multitude of human shatterings and life’s mysteries. Anne has lead seasonal dances for 25 years, to both honour and yield to natural cyclic rhythms and mark our place on the arc of our lives. See more at www.annepitman.ca
