Relaxation Exploration Workshop
by Isabelle "Ize" Heinzen

The "Relaxation Exploration" workshop allows participants to move through different modes of relaxing, giving every mover a chance to examine new deep relaxation techniques. To accomplish this, smell, sound, temperature, and light/color are all considered. The workshop also borrows ideas from dance practitioners, such as, Steve Paxton and Deborah Hay. The "Relaxation Exploration" welcomes everybody, especially those in need of a mental or physical break.

Isabelle "Ize" Heinzen is a recent graduate from Columbia College Chicago. She received her BA in Dance and had the opportunity to teach for a semester post-graduation. It is now her goal to go back to school to get her master's in education. When she isn't working or dancing, she is spending quality time with her beautiful dog babies.
