Online Classes
Online Movement Classes
Dancing Water Daily began in April 2020 with two aims: to offer movement, and to offer connection, at a time when opportunities for both might be limited.
Why the classes started
The two main reasons for starting the Dancing Water Daily online classes were movement and connection. The movement part is straightforward, since Susan Jane McCulley guides movement classes every day. The connection part raised its own question: how do we connect when we are apart?
The classes were offered as Nourishing Movement sessions, guided live online through platforms such as Zoom, with music and playlists woven into the practice.
Each session paired guided movement with a chance to be together — a simple structure for a time of physical disconnection.
The practice of inquiry invites us to pause and ask what we are truly feeling in any given moment. By turning our attention inward, we begin to notice the subtle sensations that shape our experience—the tightness in the chest, the warmth of connection, the grounding weight of our feet on the floor. This embodied awareness becomes a kind of magic, transforming how we respond to life's pushes and triggers. When we pair honest inquiry with clear intent, we open a conversation between our internal world and the external circumstances we navigate. Each question we ask becomes a doorway to deeper understanding, allowing us to move through change with greater balance and presence.
Conversations on loneliness and connection
The post also pointed to podcast conversations about loneliness and connection — listening that sits alongside the movement practice. A video companion for the day's session was shared as well.
