Primordial Movement: Original Yoga

The fluid, organic movement, breath and sound processes of Primordial Movement offer you a powerful, deeply healing and heartful practice that revitalizes body, mind, emotions and spirit.

A foundational practice in the Shamanu: Earth Wisdom Teachings, Primordial Movement is a revolutionary physical/spiritual practice, which reawakens our capacity to connect directly to the restorative energy of Nature.

Liquid, undulating, organic wave-like motions enliven the inherent fluidity of our organisms. Like the original Yoga, this practice emulates the primordial movements of Nature, opening us to the powerful innovative healing energies of Life.  
 
Creative and imaginative, Primordial Movement invites us into the deeper layers of our being. A strong emphasis to develop our capacity to feel sensation refines our ability to know ourselves, to love and receive the fullness of who we are.

Like a dance, this multi-faceted continuum of movement, breath and sound exploration strengthens physical, emotional and spiritual grace. 

A form of meditation-in-motion Primordial Movement is artistry and power, pleasure and healing personified.

"The more I sink into the Primordial Movement practice, the more I understand that indeed this IS the movment of Love. I can feel it, and it is transforming me. Thank you for showing me the way to connect with Nature's powerful healing energy." Kate

Where the Natural Wisdom of Your Body Lives

Primordial Movement finds its roots in Continuum. “Undulating wave-like motion awakens our capacity to move freely, feel deeply, and respond potently to life’s changing circumstances.” (Emily Conrad, founder of Continuum.)



Self-paced, intuitively centered processes allow old physical, emotional and psychological patterns to wash away in an atmosphere of love.  Primordial movement is indeed the Movement of Love, reconnecting us with the primal, animating force of Life itself.   

The benefits of Primordial Movement:

• Restores vitality & an extraordinary sense of well-being

Primordial Movement (Shamanu) – What People are Saying

"My time doing the Shamanu Primordial Movement workshop with Lorenna gave me so much more than I had expected - not only physical but emotional & spiritual aspects of my life have been altered & enhanced, I think permanently. The holistic approach which the Living Centre takes in feeding & developing the whole human being is wonderful & Lorenna's deeply caring & patient guidance make me want to learn more from her & return again to such a healthy & beautiful place."
~Sarah, Hamilton

“Lorenna teaches with such loving passion that it is hard not to leave feeling inspired. I attended this workshop for stress relief and relaxation, yet I left with so much more. My heart has been opened and my spirit lifted. It was truly a gratifying experience.” Lonnie

“I woke up this morning at 4;30, and had an amazing feeling during my Primordial Movements. I felt like I was speaking to my heart for the first time.” Angie

"Shamanu is fun, moving, challenging, empowering, and sensual.  I am learning tools to navigate my own life and befriend my own body.¨
~Jennifer

¨Lorenna Bousquet has many gifts to offer those who seek healing. Wave motion has been the key to physical and emotional well being for me. I embrace it fully and am totally thankful to Lorenna as I know in my heart I am on the right journey now and am loving the total process.¨ ~Beth 

"I had a rough night, my emotions were all over. I went to bed and I think I saw every hour go by, my mind was racing. I finally got up at 4:00am, put on some candles, calm music and did the program you gave me. WOW! It was 6:30 before I knew it, and I felt so centered/connected. It was unbelievable!!!! It is funny because I go to the gym (well I buy the membership and sometimes go to the gym) and I feel like the class is never going to end and I can't wait to get out of the building.  This is so different and it is feeding, my emotional, physical, spiritual self and feels soooo good!!" A.M.

"I continued to feel a sense of blessing and joy and ease for a week. Now I’m somewhat more mindful of how I lose touch with my core, and the utter waste of living from a negative state. Thank you both for yet another wonderful retreat! "~Anne

"Since returning home after being at The Living Centre, I have  been feeling great. My back that was sore almost everyday, has not been a bother once. I have more energy and I am sleeping better. I have not had any stomach aches, which I was having the last couple of weeks." ~Jerry

"My experience with Shamanu has been very beautiful. It has re-created a language and communication with my emotional and spiritual self through my physical being. Through the movement I have experienced a greater balance and a connection with myself that allows me to feel and understand the more universal truths within me. It has been the reclaiming of a very powerful tool for understanding and expressing my true nature, as I strive to live to my fullest potential."~Tara Peters

“This was a very empowering and awakening experience. The Primoridal Movement helped me strengthen trust in myself and surrender to my inner wisdom. Lorenna’s great guidance helped me go into the unknown, meet what blocks me and hold sacred space for myself. Lorenna is a gifted teacher and facilitator and The Living Centre environment is transformative.” Dawn

 It is a joy for me to express how powerful the week has been within the wave motion and toning. I realized it was time for me to care more about my body, which means taking  time daily to just communicate, and listen letting my body, and my cells answer me the way I really need. Thank you from my heart to Lorenna and Shantree to serve humanity the way they are doing......
