Essential Motion

Eyes of the Beholder

Rosen Method Bodywork

"I have a deep belief in the wisdom of the body and the rich, heartfelt quality of life that is available to us when we dwell within an enlivened body. There is a power that comes from contacting the self on a visceral level -- a power that leads to an opening of the heart and a return to who we truly are. When we experience the alive body, we feel our hearts and are able to express our true selves. I facilitate this transformation through movement -- the forgotten language of the soul." -- Karen Roeper

Karen Roeper's lifelong focus has been to explore the relationships between body, emotions, mind, and spirit. She is the founder of Essential Motion and has conducted seminars both nationally and internationally for over fifteen years. Karen holds a Masters in Counseling and Dance Therapy, is a Rosen Method Bodywork Senior Teacher and is an adjunct faculty member at JFK University. She has maintained a private practice in bodywork and movement for twenty years. Karen is currently conducting Essential Motion Leadership Trainings in both the United States and Sweden. Karen believes in curiosity, kindness, and the transformative ability of each person.

"Learn to stay aligned with your body and begin to move through daily life with ease, grace, and power."

Essential Motion

Using movement and dance, music and words, reflection and sharing, Essential Motion returns us to the natural wisdom of our bodies.

Eyes of the Beholder

Using a combination of improvisational movement and video feedback, Eyes of the Beholder moves us from judgment to curiosity, from self-consciousness to self-awareness, from inhibition to self-expression.

Rosen Method Bodywork

Using gentle yet direct touch and verbal support, Rosen Method Bodywork promotes healing, insight, and personal growth through the release of chronic muscle tension.
