The SAG-AFTRA Chicago Conservatory presents
 "NEW YEAR - NEW YOU: Body, Brain, Business!"

This three-part series is designed to get you feeling grounded, thinking positively and running your creative career like a business! Join all the sessions or pick and choose those most appealing to you. 
All Events are scheduled to be IN PERSON at The Kaufherr Center (1 E Erie, Suite 660)

 

PART 1: BODY 
January 22 - 6-8pm

Relaxation, mindfulness and grounding are a few things we’ll explore to facilitate the release of tension in both the body and the mind.  We’ll breathe a little, move a little, and even play a little as we connect our brains to our bodies, our breath, our senses and our imagination to release tensions and enhance creativity. 

How to prepare - come with an open mind and ready to play! We suggest wearing clothes you would be comfortable moving in - sweats, yoga pants, etc.  Please avoid wearing any dangly jewelry. This workshop is available for all body types and abilities, participants can choose to move as much or as little as they are comfortable with. That said, please consider bringing a yoga mat as some excercises will encourage sitting/lying/moving on the floor.
