Moving consciously: somatic transformations through dance, yoga, and touch

The popularity of yoga and Zen meditation has heightened awareness of somatic practices.

Methods of touch and movement foster generative processes of consciousness in order to create a fluid interconnection between sensation, thought, movement, and expression.

In 'Moving Consciously', Sondra Fraleigh gathers essays that probe ideas surrounding embodied knowledge and the conscious embodiment of movement and dance.
