Continuum Santa Fe

Continuum is a movement practice pioneered by Emilie Conrad that engages the body in the totality of our current physical reality. Continuum increases mobile flexibility, motility, well-being, creativity, innovation, adaptability and vitality on many levels. Unlike movement practices that rely on fixed patterns or postures, Continuum movement enables us to access our capacity for fluid, free, non-constrained movement, which enhances a sense of youthfulness, aliveness and well-being. By teaching us to reduce physical limitations through the innovation of movement, we can counter the “densifying” process of aging and stress, and increase our perceptual and mental awareness. Continuum is particularly beneficial to restore movement and resilience after injury, illness and chronic stress. As a movement form, it has relaxing and rejuvenating properties not unlike yoga and tai chi, and can be as active, energizing and aerobic as dance – even for the “non” dancer!

Continuum has been used in multiple settings with a variety of people: Practitioners and lovers of the movement arts and sciences; survivors of injury, trauma and illness; children and adults; in combination with other movement and body based forms and practices; and in educational, mental health, physical education, and spiritual programs and settings.
