Event Details

Immerse yourself in two hours of pure, joyful body positivity!

Golda Poretsky and Ragen Chastain are two divas of the Body Positive world who are coming  together for one fabulous and rare workshop. 

In this 2 hour experience we’ll talk about how to live body positive in a body negative world from both a physical and emotional perspective.  You’ll dance with plus-sized professional dancer Ragen Chastain who will teach a routine and modifications that make it fun for people of all levels and abilities.  It will be a chance to move for the pure joy of movement and explore ways to connect with your amazing body.

Then Golda will share some of her top techniques for feeling sexy and confident no matter what your size.  She'll help you shift the negative thoughts that you may have about your body so that you stop comparing and despairing and start appreciating the body you have right now. 

This class is for people of any size, shape, gender, and age who want to bask in body positivity. 

Make sure to register early, space is limited and Ragen is in from Austin, TX and will only be doing one workshop!

Please wear clothes that you can move in comfortably. Also, bring water or another drink to stay hydrated.
