Eutonía body awareness workshops for musicians, dancers and anyone who sits at a desk all day

Eutonía is a slow body awareness practice, closer to Feldenkrais than to a yoga class: you lie down, work with balls, sticks and bones, and end up moving differently without ever having stretched hard. Virginia Criscuolo runs it with a musician's ear, and her recurring workshops focus on specific areas, like arms and hands, which is why singers, pianists and dancers show up, alongside people who just type all day. Sessions are 90 minutes, in person in Villa Crespo or live online, and no experience or flexibility is required. One off workshops, paid per session.
