Add Life to Your Years
Are you feeling the effects of age, but not in the way you’d like? While we can’t stop time, we can transform how we move through it. Dynamic Aging is a retreat designed to help you care for your body with movement—no matter your age. Led by biomechanist Katy Bowman, this experience will guide you in restoring lost function from years of inactivity and improving balance through gentle, corrective movements. You’ll nourish every part of your body, from feet and ankles to hips, back, and shoulders, while learning practical skills like fall-proof gait patterns and boosting play in your life. By aligning your body and integrating movement into daily activities, you’ll reduce pain, move with ease, and step into a life full of vitality and purpose.
