A somatic approach to exercise

$240.00

When: Sundays from 11-12, February 22 - April 12, 2026

Where: Gibney Dance Studio 280 (53A Chambers St. New York)

This winter ground yourself in the truth of gravity. Notice where you are in space. Find the edges of your physical and emotional container and stretch yourself a millimeter beyond your limit. Let go of who you think you are and dissolve into structure. Your body is where structure and energy meet.

Sign up for The Poetics of Structure with Mackenzie Chambers, master Pilates instructor, contemporary dancer, Rolf Structural Integrator, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner. Mackenzie has devoted her life to deep somatic exploration and will pass her knowledge on to you through her singular technique that she has developed over 40 years. 

This eight-session class will incorporate elements of mat Pilates, Yoga, and meditation, and will go deeper than any fitness class you’ve taken before. You will bring the lessons and self knowledge you gain in class with you wherever you bring your body– whether that is walking down the street, to other fitness classes, dancing, or doing the dishes.

This class is suitable for all experience levels, from true beginners to seasoned pilates instructors.

This class is meant to build sequentially, but if you can’t join for the full eight sessions, you can sign up for a drop-in session. Sliding scale is available– reach out to me for details.
