Yin-Restore with Niki (in-person or online)
6-7.30pm Tuesday evenings starting November 5th (90 mins)
A Yin/ Restorative practice that uses props & longer holding poses to stimulate the ‘relaxation response’. I aim to hold space for folks and guide them to play with their edge, release control and let gravity do the work. Join in-person or online. A link to the online class will be sent once you register.
$15-25 (BIPOC - pay what you can)
Rise & Shine with Niki (in-person or online)
7.30-8.20am Thursday mornings starting November 7th (50 mins)
Rise & Shine - Kickstart your day with this class by working with your body & breath. A physical practice that focuses on strength, flexibility, breath and balance through static or linked poses, mandala flows, and challenging ‘peak pose’ flows to bring you into your bodies and onto your mats, leaving you blissfully energized and ready for your day. We will use Hatha & Vinyasa yoga to help improve internal and external stability. While some knowledge of basic yoga asanas can be helpful, it doesn’t matter where you are on your yoga journey, by attending regularly you will benefit from advancing your yoga practice and challenging yourself daily. Join in-person or online. A link to the online class will be sent once you register.

A brief introduction to Relational Intelligence in Contact Improvisation
This movement workshop will introduce dancers to body-based practices that rethink and retrain our relational skills through understanding how our embodied states influence our communicative impact and abilities.
Shake with Niki (in-person only)
5-6.30pm Second Sunday of every month, starting November 10th (60-75 mins)
Group Shake - A somatic movement practice during which we will shake to music or sometimes, silence. Shaking, individually but as part of a group to ground us, can be healing as it is a natural way to relieve tension. You may choose to shake standing, seated, lying down or alternating between those depending on what your body needs in the moment. You can choose your own intensity, when to stop or when to keep going as you listen to your own body. While it is important to keep ourselves open to what, if anything, may arise emotionally, please only engage to the degree that you can still care for yourself. This is not a therapeutic space. The practice will start with a demonstration and it will end in silence. Dress comfortably and stay hydrated!
$10-$25 (with Sonic Immersion $8-20 - Come just for the Shake, or stay on for the Sonic Immersion right after)
A multi-instrumental Sound Bath by Sasha Bogdanowitsch to create an ever-evolving sonic tapestry that will immerse attendees in resonance and overtones; aiding all in their own sonic journey, relaxation, stress reduction and/ or meditation.

We are in-process for Loom Ensemble’s next show, and are welcoming new collaborators into the creative process! This fall, winter and spring, we’ll gather about once a month for either a long weekend or full-week intensives. In these creative work periods, we welcome performers (dancers, actors, musicians), writers, composers, designers, dramaturgs — we’ll be approaching the material from all angles.
