Deep Practice

Deep Practice is a therapeutic Yoga class for all levels that begins with the art of Entangled Therapeutics. This is a self-massage methodology I developed to heal from injuries as a dancer. We will utilize tools like physio-balls, foam rollers, and Yoga props to liquify and regenerate our tissues. The second wave of practice is fluid dance based somatic movement. The practice crescendos with  long holds in Yoga postures buoyed up by props. This practice does take place on a mat and all props needed are provided. 

Sift

Sift stands for Somatic Intelligence of Trauma, and the practice is the culmination and articulation of my process as a dance artist and choreographer working in ecological and healing-centered pedagogy and praxis. It is a poetic approach to somatic potential and phenoma that fosters wellbeing and connection through guided dance improvisation. I teach Sift as a catalyst for transformation and collective resilience. All bodies and limitations are welcome in this class. That said an open heart and mind is required.

Floor Time

Floor Time is an all levels contemporary dance floorwork practice. We begin with a full body warm up to nourish and prepare our tissues, then transition into progressions and technique across the floor. Each class ends with a short piece of choreography where we will integrate themes introduced through the previous waves of class. No dance experience is necessary however this class is not accessible to all bodies (unfortunately). You must be comfortable moving on your hands and knees (knee pads are encouraged) and you also must be comfortable with shoulder stands.  

Gravity & Grace

In Contemporary Ballet Barre we will embody the elegance and precision of classical ballet while integrating the fluidity and creativity of contemporary movement. Whether you are a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, this class offers a supportive environment for practicing ballet technique, musicality, and self-expression. Ballet is an incredible vocabulary for cultivating strength, flexibility, balance, and self-awareness. Modifications are offered to suit all skill levels, ensuring an engaging experience for everyone. Come as you are!

“I have loved attending Morgan’s Sifting: Conscious Dance classes. I have been a Yoga and Dance student of Morgan’s for more than 10 years. I have always appreciated her intelligent, intentional, and caring approach to teaching. She always finds a thoughtful balance in her instruction where movement is simultaneously guided, fresh, improvisational, and liberating. I love her choice of music and her informed cues. I feel very present and focused, yet relaxed during class. A lovely sense of trust and acceptance is shared by the multi-age students.”

"You were a guiding light for my budding practice and a nurturing influence for my seeking soul and mind. You made me look at myself and helped me have a greater appreciation of who I am. In my time with you I've learned to forgive myself along with others. I've become aware of enjoying 'this moment' and how to savor it without looking to the past or future as being better. Thank you isn't a big enough word for all you've done for me."

"Undoubtedly, both yoga and art seek to translate the intangible into the tangible and Morgan’s ability to successfully meet this challenge is revealed through her teaching. As a teacher, her

offerings are a transmission, reflecting her inner work, that become an accessible and safe entry point for students to explore and experience the intangible and dually to engage in a method of Self-discovery. Embodying both strength and nurturance, Morgan communicates from a place of skill, depth and presence. Her passion to serve others is very clear along with her willingness to step into the unknown in order to do so."
