Movement as a path toward wholeness
I am a certified Open Floor teacher of conscious dance and movement; I integrate this method into trainings, workshops, and group work as support for the learning and regulation process.
The body is our home. A place where we live, through which we feel and connect – both with ourselves and with others. Yet, many of us gradually lose contact with our body due to busyness, stress, trauma, or prolonged living “in our head.”
Open Floor conscious movement and dance practice provides a space for reconnecting with the body – a place of safety, resources, and authenticity. In it, movement is not choreography. It is a tool for exploration, regulation, integration, and connection – both on the dance floor and beyond.
Open Floor is an experiential practice of conscious movement and dance that combines the art of movement, psychological knowledge, and principles of somatic awareness.
This practice teaches us how to move within the body, emotions, thoughts, and relationships – with greater awareness, flexibility, and capacity for presence.
In Open Floor there is no “correct” movement. Every movement – small or large, gentle or strong – becomes a way to explore the inner and outer spaces of our experience.
Through the practice, we learn to:
Body anchors are resources we return to when we need stability.
For example:
using the space around you for clarity.
Anchors help us stay present and connected, even when the intensity is high.
Practice of conscious movement develops resilience, flexibility, and authentic expression.By learning to listen to the body, we more easily make decisions from a place of clarity and connection, rather than from automatic reactions.
At the heart of the Open Floor practice are Core Movement Resources – skills that teach us how to move through the body, emotions, and life with more awareness and flexibility:
Ove vještine ne ostaju samo na plesnom podiju – one postaju alati za svakodnevni život.
Every Open Floor session is unique. The facilitator creates a safe space, and participants explore their own movement at a pace that suits them. There is no choreography or expectation, only space for exploration and connection. Movement can be quiet or powerful. Every movement carries information.
Open Floor is for those who want to:
No prior experience is necessary. Only openness to exploration.
Open Floor reminds us that we can always return to ourselves. That the body can be our ally. That movement can become a bridge to stability, clarity, and freedom – not only on the dance floor, but in life.

Prva radionica kao poziv da skliznemo iz svijeta u tijelo. Nema požurivanja, nema očekivanja, nema potrebe da se odmah “damo”. Kroz snagu jednostavnog pokreta i dublje aktivacije centra, istražujemo što sve sa sobom donosimo i što više ne trebamo nositi. Radimo u paru, u dijadi, u šutnji i u dodiru. Iznutra prema van. Ovo je prostor u kojem ne moraš biti dobar. Dovoljno je da si stvaran jer ćeš osjetiti što znači odmoriti se u vlastitom tijelu bez zadataka, bez performansa.
Nakon dolaska, spuštanje dublje. Ova popodnevna radionica poziva na pristanak da budemo teški, da nas zemlja primi, da nas tijelo podrži. Koristimo dah i gravitaciju kao saveznike. Kroz rad na podu, dublji fizički pritisak, i male valove otpuštanja učimo kako se praznimo da bismo se punili. Na kraju formiramo pods – male grupe povjerenja koje nas prate kroz cijeli intenziv. Zemlja ne traži od nas da se uzdižemo. Dovoljno je da se spustimo i reguliramo kroz dah i težinu tijela tako da stabilnost više ne tražiš izvana, nego je stvarno osjetiš u sebi.
U ovoj radionici skidamo slojeve, ne kao čin hrabrosti, već kao povratak onome što nikada nije bilo složeno. Kroz precizno vođen tjelesno-terapijski rad, ulazimo u kontakt s nesvjesnim identifikacijama koje nas vode poput autopilota: ja sam onaj koji brine, onaj koji daje, onaj koji mora biti jak… Koristimo psihodinamske strukture, rad sa svjedočenjem, otpuštanjem i regulacijom, kako bismo razotkrili ono što smo iznutra naučili zvati “ja”. Kroz tijelo postaješ prisutniji za ono što nisi smio pokazati te razotkrivaš nesvjesne uloge koje te drže u naporu i krivnji, bez potrebe da se mijenjaš. Ovo nije raskid sa sobom. Ovo je sjećanje na sebe prije svih uloga.
