“Our bodies know that they belong; it is our minds that make our lives so homeless. Guided by longing, belonging is the wisdom of rhythm. When we are in rhythm with our own nature, things flow and balance naturally. Every fragment does not have to be relocated, reordered; things cohere and fit according to their deeper impulse and instinct. Our modern hunger to belong is particularly intense. An increasing majority of people feel no belonging. We have fallen out of rhythm with life. The art of belonging is the recovery of the wisdom of rhythm.” /John O’Donohue
ABOUT FREEMOVE YOGA
Freemove Yoga is a guided free movement practice where we explore and express our life energy. It combines organic somatic yoga and dance therapy, conscious movement and various forms of meditation. All in a safe frame where sharing and debriefing plays an important roll. It is a deep dive into body presence where we are anchored in gravity and receptivity so that our inner authentic dancer easily can move through us: Dynamic and still, fluid and powerful.
“Move and be moved”

“Dance your yoga from inner stillness to exploratory movement and let your movement be your liberation and meditation”
“Thank you so much Angelica Nanda for your professional, heartfelt and cordial guidance, it makes me go outside my comfort zone and again take me deeper into home and away to freedom.”
“Entering the world of Yoga together with Angelica means careful mental and physical work, work that leaves a mark on life and as a person in a harmonious way. She picks up all the pieces that are needed and is responsive to what each individual is in need of.”
“Angelica generously shares her knowledge, her warmth and her safe, beautiful energy. She is an excellent inspirer, teacher and organizer. Dependable, wise and simply lovely to be around.”
”To practice yoga with Angelica is like a journey, no two yoga sessions are the same. It is wonderful to join because Angelica spreads light, joy, energy and knowledge wherever she is. It is very inspiring. I learn more about myself, my body and how I feel when I’m on her sessions. It is so enriching and wonderful for well-being, both mentally and physically.”
