Using the Space at the MOVEMENT

the MOVEMENT is a curated space rooted in body autonomy, nervous system awareness, and respect for lived experience. The studio is available for intentional, aligned use by movement educators and facilitators whose work honors these values.

This is not a generic rental space.

We prioritize practices that are:

  • Body-intelligent rather than performative

  • Choice-based rather than command-driven

  • Respectful of nervous systems, boundaries, and consent

  • Aligned with the understanding that bodies are not problems to be fixed

The Space Is Best Suited For:

  • Movement classes (dance, yoga, Pilates, strength, somatic work)

  • Small group series or workshops

  • Rehearsals or practices held with care and clarity

  • Educators who are thoughtful about language, music, and the container they create

Care of the Space

To ensure the space remains welcoming, respectful, and ready for the next group, all renters are expected to:

  • Leave the studio as they found it

  • Return props and equipment to their designated places

  • Clean up after their session and exit on time

Availability & Structure

Availability, rates, and scheduling are discussed after reviewing alignment. Completing the interest form does not guarantee availability or approval.

The studio is available for:

  • Recurring weekly or bi-weekly rentals

  • Short-term series or limited-run offerings

  • One-time workshops

A Note on Alignment

Renting the space at the MOVEMENT is not simply a transaction. It’s a shared container.

We ask all potential renters to:

  • Review and align with our studio values and expectations

  • Take responsibility for holding their group with care

  • Respect the physical space, neighboring businesses, and the surrounding community

  • Carry appropriate liability insurance for their work (documentation may be requested)

We may not be the right fit for:

  • High-volume, drop-in events without clear facilitation

  • Work that relies heavily on correction, force, or compliance

  • Activities that override participant choice or agency

This is not about exclusivity, it’s about integrity.

Interested in Renting?

If this resonates, you’re welcome to complete the Rental Interest Form.

The form helps us understand:

  • The nature of your work

  • How you hold a group

  • The kind of container you’re looking to create

From there, we’ll determine next steps together.

Thank you for approaching this space with care and intention.
