Movement is Awareness Series

Fridays at 4pm, October 10th, 17th, and 24th with Rebecca South

Join Rebecca in this 3 part series exploring Movement as Awareness. Across three classes, you will move through core, standing, and floor postures - weaving strength, fluid stretch, and breath into moments of stillness where awareness takes root.

10/10/25 - Class 1: Breath and Beginning

Awareness begins with the breath. The breath is our first movement — a quiet rhythm that calls us home. Each inhale awakens; each exhale releases. Foundation is not about holding still, but about returning, again and again, to what steadies the heart. Here, awareness begins to root, and strength begins as softness — the courage to notice.

10/17/25 - Class 2: Flow & Embodiment

Awareness lives in motion. To move is to listen — to meet change with curiosity, to honor effort and surrender equally. Flow is not performance; it is participation in the moment. Every gesture, every transition becomes an act of presence. Here, awareness breathes through the body,and strength unfolds as grace — in the steadiness beneath the motion.

10/24/25 - Class 3: Stillness & Wholeness

Awareness ripens into stillness. Stillness is not the end of movement, but its fullest expression. Each pause, each posture held in quiet, adds a new kind of strength — the strength to stay, to feel, to be. In this stillness, all that we have practiced settles and integrates. We meet ourselves completely — breath, body, mind, and spirit. Here, awareness becomes whole, and strength becomes peace.

Recover from injury? The way you train - the load, the speed, the tempo - all of these change the response in your body. 

Join Brenna Backe, owner and trainer at Koa Fit Studio, for an hour workshop breaking down these differences. This interactive workshop will teach you what you should be doing for strength training based on your goals and needs. This workshop will be geared towards runners and walkers, but the information applies to all looking to use strength training to improve their health and fitness.

This workshop is being held in partnership with Fleet Feet Boulder and will take place at their Pearl Street store. Please RSVP in advance by clicking the link below.
