The Awareness Through Movement Workshop will be given by Paul Voudouris at Priya Pilates on Wednesday, August 11th, from 9 AM to 3 PM, at a cost of $240. The workshop is for people of all ages, no matter what their physical condition, and who are interested in rediscovering the power of thought, movement, and functional organization. One of the goals of this learning method is to recreate connections between the mind and the body in such a way as to increase awareness and provide more creative options for thought and action.
