CBC creates a safe space for each individual, one where you are able to express, trust and transform by honouring your personal boundaries and the boundaries of others.
The practice focuses on all our bodies, what in Greek is called SOMA - the integration of Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit. It is important to acquire an understanding of all the bodies to be capable of interpreting intentions, perceptions and insights, and acting through wisdom and love.

Our mission:
*To establish conscious dance practice as an all-inclusive heart-based practice for genuine connection, healing and spiritual development.
*To train facilitators in the CBC dance and healing practice, that can spread the value and importance of authentic human connection; for the individual, for the relationships and for the community.

[Teacher Bio]
Angela Heyun
Embodiment is helping me to be more present, at ease, resilient, focused, creative, and playful – and I am excited to share that with you. When I discovered CBC in 2019, it was a pinnacle experience of connection & understanding beyond language, of full aliveness. It was the first time my mind was fully in my body – not overflowing with analysis, but quiet, present.
I am happy to be a senior teacher of the Contact Beyond Contact dance and healing practice, as it offers so much towards a personal development that focuses on all bodies, body, mind, heart, and spirit.
I also teach the solo practice Integrative Somatic Arts, which focuses on the state of being rather than doing. ISA integrates Experiential Anatomy, Authentic Movement, Qigong, Yoga, Bartennieff Fundamentals, Feldenkrais, Craniosacral, other healing practices.
My movement path began in 2013, teaching Ashtanga and Hatha Vinyasa Yoga. I focused on relationship with self, integration, intentional transitions, cues for sensation, & being curious about where there is discomfort and how to pass through this state to find ease and transformation. I explore Argentine tango, acro-yoga, flow arts, bodywork, and mindfulness meditations. I trained in Ashtanga (200hr) and Hatha Vinyasa (200hr).
I explore other movement-based practices such as Argentine tango, clay sculpture, guiding mindfulness and meditation (particularly open monitoring, sensory, walking, & kind attention), and somatic coaching.
My background is in Psychology from the University of Chicago, pursuing a masters in Positive Psychology Coaching, facilitating workshops on design thinking and creative problem-solving, and hosting discussion-oriented events and communities.
