She started practicing yoga in high school at a small studio in hometown in Wisconsin. She found contemporary dance while at Middlebury college in Vermont. She appreciated the ways yoga, dance and sports allowed her to continuously learn about herself and her body in every movement session. Wanting to integrate more joyful movement into her life and learn about the benefits of the Flow State, Celia attended a Floor Flow teacher training taught by Marlo Fisken at Flow Movement. Since completing the training, Celia’s goal is to help adults find joyful ways to move outside of our everyday patterns. She loves using music, storytelling, metaphor, and games to encourage curiosity and reflection in movement.
