Community Practice
The heart of The Sensing Self is the people who embody it and the bonds we create with each other through shared experiences and growth.

Our community practice is grounded in the Movimentica system of Marcello Palozzo and shaped by Valeryia's personal research, practice, and teaching. Members of the community meet three times a week in structured classes and self-practice sessions, with space to connect beyond practice both within our group and with the global network.

If you are curious to experience this for yourself, you are invited to join us for our Cycle Kick-Off on September 3, or step into an August Discovery Class to move with us this summer.

Athletic games
Acrobatic puzzles

No prior experience needed, just the willingness to follow your curiosity to dive into the Ocean of Movement 🌊

Guiding the practice

  • Valeryia Liseichykava
    Founder of The Sensing Self, movement educator
    Movement practice is a life practice for me. Through this practice I developed more agency and confidence, became more attuned to myself, others, and the environment, and reawakened playfulness, curiosity, and free expression as part of my everyday life.

    My classes are structured and physically engaging, while always leaving room to adjust intensity and explore creatively. People of many ages and physical backgrounds have been part of this community, feeling both challenged and supported. We focus on honest effort, quality of attention, and process over performance.

    Community practice format allows me to create experiences which do not only focus on content, but also emotional, social and ethical development of the people attending. Learning happens through relationship, exchange, and shared presence. Trust is essential for this work, which is why groups are kept small and the learning environment is shaped together.
