Reading Body Language, Posture, & Energy with Andie Devynck

Saturday, January 26 | 10AM - 12PM $15, 20% off for owners

Nonverbal communication may seem secondary to speech, but it can say just as much as, if not more than, words. This class will examine body language, the way we hold ourselves, and how we communicate with others. Participants may uncover parts of their emotional anatomy and defense mechanisms. Demonstration for postures, gestures, and other tools will be provided to learn ways to improve communication skills and overall physio-emotional health. Andie Devnyck has been a bodywork instructor in a private practice for over two decades. She has also been a client and student of body psychotherapy for 20 years. She is currently pursuing her masters in clinical mental health.
