BODY DIALOGUE

What happens when we intentionally choose to say yes to restoration, nourishment and to joy?

We live in an environment of constant bombardment on the nervous system. No matter your age, your nervous system is impacted by your mental, physical, and emotional environment. These ongoing challenges hype our nervous system and can create emotional undertow.

Can you imagine giving your body easy nourishment that can have lasting impact? Join Janice Stieber-Rous, creator of Body Dialogue to learn tools and practices to nourish and restore the dynamic balance of your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

Drawing from Alexander Technique, Breathing Coordination, Yoga, Qi Gong, and BodySoul Rhythms(R) this workshop will offer guidance so you can feel grounded, relaxed, and expansive in your body. You will learn simple practices that you can take home and incorporate into your daily life to reduce stress and feel better.

Please wear loose fitting comfortable clothing that is easy to move and breathe in. Bring a yoga mat, a spill-proof water bottle, a journal and a pen or pencil.

About the Practitioner

Janice Stieber Rous

Janice Stieber Rous has identified as a dancing philosopher since her early teens. She trained at the Martha Graham School and, by the time she graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, recognized herself as a teacher rather than a performer. When she was 19, an injury changed her life, and she began her quest for a healing modality beginning in 1969. She discovered acupuncture as well as the Alexander Technique and became a certified Alexander teacher in 1981. Continuing her journey, she found Carl Stough, the influential “master of the breath,” and became one of only five recognized teachers of Stough Breathing Coordination. Simultaneously, Janice has been a student of yoga, qigong, and tai chi and recognizes the importance of the emotional body in healing. She also studied with Marion Woodman and, in 2000, graduated from the BodySoul Rhythms training created by Woodman, Mary Hamilton, and Ann Skinner. As a result of her varied studies, Janice developed her own modality, Body Dialogue, which she continues to teach in the United States and Israel, both privately and in groups. Her associations with Opera Orlando, University of Central Florida Wellness Programs, and the Timucua Arts Foundation give her an opportunity to work in person. She also creates online courses, including “Navigating the Aging Body” and “Body Dialogue to Nourish the Nervous System,” with the Body Dialogue team.
