*SLIDING SCALE: $20-40
Body Intelligence is a 90-minute weekly movement class that welcomes all bodies and abilities.
This class consists of structured work as well as some guided creative movement. The structured exercises are repetitive and durational, strengthening mental and physical stamina while conditioning the muscles and fascia. The unstructured movement allows us to fully experience the body's impulses.
This sensation-building work invites us to bear witness to all aspects of self. As we de-habitualize the body's patterns and bring light to areas of neglect and weakness, we tap into profound transformation and freedom in the body, mind, and spirit.
This class is a non-judgmental place to practice curiosity and resilience.
The Body Intelligence movement modality was created by Brenna Palughi and is infused with concepts from Allan Wayne Work, Alexander Technique, Fitzmaurice vocal technique, integral anatomy, Lucid Body, yoga, modern dance, and physical therapy.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
Marianna McClellan uses movement as a means for creative self-expression, therapeutic rehabilitation and building community. She connected to the deep work of Body Intelligence in 2017 while training with Brenna Palughi in Virago, their physical theatre company. The work developed new meaning after Marianna was hospitalized with Guillain Barre Syndrome (a rare neurological condition that causes full-body paralysis). Throughout her long recovery, Body Intelligence movement work became a guiding force for healing as she reunited with sensation, mobility, strength and proprioception.
In addition to training to teach Body Intelligence with Brenna, Marianna completed a yoga teacher training at ISHTA yoga in NYC. She continues to study anatomy and fascia with Tom Myers and has completed a course in Pelvic floor health (which she is extremely passionate about) with Lauren Ohayon and Diana Zotos Florio.
