Kelly Ferris, a long-time student of Sondra Fraleigh, will teach Eastwest's unique somatic processes and integrated bodywork in Auckland New Zealand. Students can experience Kelly's teaching of Shin Somatics practices. She is certified as a somatic movement educator RSME through Eastwest Somatics Institute and ISMETA. A dancer and university professor of dance with many years' experience facilitating learning and change through somatic modes. Kelly guides students in moving consciously. In her transformative classes, students open to new possibilities for creativity and joy and earn credits to become somatic movement therapists.

Kelly has also studied extensively with Bill Evans, who is a pioneer in somatic applications to dance technique and performance. Sondra Fraleigh and Bill Evans have been good friends and colleagues for over fifty years, ever since their student days at the University of Utah.

In all Eastwest Workshops

Students learn Flow Repattering based on 5 stages of human movement development, and translate patterns to hands on restorative work in partners. The workshops also feature Fraleigh's Depth-Movement Dance Therapy. Those about to graduate will take level 7 together.

All Eastwest Workshops include Fraleigh's unique Land to Water Yoga & Chakra Unwinding. Become acquainted with the seven energy vortexes of human life and infant development in processes that have grown over a period of twenty years at Eastwest. In Eastwest workshops, Sondra Fraleigh, Karen Smith, Kelly Ferris, Catherine Schaeffer and other associates teach the characteristics of the chakras through somatic processes. Learn how to open to the energetic qualities of each chakra in your own body and development.

At Eastwest, we use the models of dance technique, improvisation, and choreography throughout our work. Our approach is basic, so no previous dance study is required. Everyone begins from where they are, and we learn together from there.
