Join Alissa Marie Newberg and Chloé Haddad for an immersive workshop exploring the deep connection within the body from the soles of the feet to the top of the core — the diaphragm. Together, we’ll examine the physical, energetic, and emotional influences that shape and affect the lower body and core, and how these patterns influence stability, mobility, posture, breath, and overall well-being.  
  
Through guided movement, somatic awareness, breathwork, and discussion, participants will explore grounding through the feet, support and alignment through the legs and pelvis, and the relationship between the pelvic floor, core, and diaphragm as centers of strength, balance, and connection.  
  
Chloe will also guide attendees through hands-on massage techniques, fascia release, and practices designed to support emotional release and deeper connection within the body. These techniques are intended to help unwind tension patterns, improve mobility and circulation, and create space for both physical and emotional integration.  
  
This workshop is designed to leave you feeling more connected, supported, and aware in your body while offering practical tools for movement, release, restoration, and healing. Open to all levels and bodies.
