1:1 Somatic bodywork sessions @ilanlevmethod
🤍Book your spot via link in bio or DM.
♡Alleviates pain and discomfort caused by physical, emotional and energetic blockages in the body. ♡Through gentle movements of the limbs, we clear and open up pathways, releasing tension towards the muscles and deeper organs.
♡This results in a state of relaxation and alert awareness, making you feel both lighter and more energized.
Sessions are customized to suit your needs - the treatment always meets you where you're at.
During sessions, we discuss together how you're thinking/feeling, where is your body today (good question, right?), briefly tapping into physical, emotional, and mental states. You lie down on the table, and we progressively explore your movement capabilities, identifying any blockages, and working on helping your body overcome tensions found along the way.
The body responds to these movement patterns quite immediately. We are made for moving, for thinking/feeling movement as organic, "easy", effortless. This initiates a unique and transformative journey of self-discovery, in turn providing an intensive learning and deep healing process.

Ilan Lev Method Advanced Course. First of three weeks. I don’t know what to say. The more I bend, the more I fly. The first thing I saw when I arrived to @ilanlevinternational was the view from the first slide. Wow. I was pretty shut down. You work with the body and you think you’re doing the work. This was a reminder, to unfold, to lean, to create openings endlessly. Because, hopefully, there’s always more.
Receiving, giving, butterflies and many other creatures. This practice is like no other. I don’t think a text can reach its magic, maybe it’s just about doing it. And then maybe think. Or not. What a glow for the soul. Eternally grateful 🤍 until the next!

Opening the chest isn’t just posture — it changes how you function.
More space for the lungs to expand, improves breathing patterns. Less tension through the diaphragm and ribcage, means better oxygen exchange. Reduced load on the neck and jaw, allows the voice to come through with less effort.
It also shifts how you feel.
Fuller breathing supports nervous system regulation. Sense less reactivity, more steadiness. Less bracing through the front operating system, gives a sense of openness rather than protection. And more space internally, clearer thinking, easier expression. Maybe a little more confident too?
In both Bodywork & Pilates, we work with this on creating conditions for the body to breathe, support, and regulate itself.
Taking up space, in this sense, is physiological and psychological.
And your system responds to it.
Try it out. No right or wrong ways to move - score: play with chest 🤍
@te.bodypractice
They said it better - light, loose, happy bodies. And something glorious about being out of control😆 gotta love my clients.
We keep exploring our boundaries when it comes to touch, how to express what’s comfortable, or even know what we need. There is revolution in trust, and this may happen when a space meets you where you’re at. Thank you for being open.

Strength Control 🌸
Challenge your body by training with more resistance and repeating exercises for longer periods. Your muscles may then shake a little, which is a sign that new connections are being formed.
In this class, we will use weights, elastic bands for resistance, or the jumpboard.
Check our rooster and join us :)

Soft flow🤍 Reformer + Mat.
Take a look at our schedule and find your spot!
Performs exercises more sequentially, invite your muscles to work together more quickly while maintaining precision and control.
With Flow we mean focusing on mobilizing the body, breathing into every move and creating strength with ease.
>> Don’t be fooled by the name ; there is power in softness and you’ll leave feeling every inch of your body has worked 🫢☺️

Acompañar | To be a companion
Holding space for the other to go through their story. Without judging, forcing, or pushing. Remembering our role as therapists or facilitators, is not to prove but to help shine a light the other already carries.
🌑🤍
the rest is noise 🖤 don’t forget to wiggle the anger out
pilates + self expression
it’s good to think about beauty and ugly
where is your judgement when you move
what is your heart saying when you shake
is there something you pick up after class
how much of what you do plays on your team
can we train body, mind and soul without making ourselves obedient, perfect little creatures ? can we also take space, be raw, be wild ? what does that mean ?
: observations giving and receiving classes. food for playfulness.
