The Workshop

Lavinia's workshopLavinia’s workshop in the Club Marviya teaching space
We move according to our perceived self image. Contained within every step, every breath are all of our possibilities, dreams, obstacles, limitations and the emotions we associate with them. What or who do you wish to be? Unfurl your wings and fly. It’s not about thinking outside the box. It’s about recognizing that there is no box.

“This Method can help you realize your avowed and unavowed dreams.”
Moshe Feldenkrais

“One must have chaos within oneself if one is to be a dancing star.”

The Location

Puerto Morelos is 20 minutes south of Cancun, but a world away from the commercialized resort. It has preserved the small town ambience of a fishing village, even while offering all levels of dining – from French haute cuisine to pizza. It has a beautiful sand beach with snorkeling and other water sports available. Club Marviya Bed and Breakfast is across the street from the beach and less than a mile from downtown, and has a full kitchen for guest use.

Sylvia at Club Marviya is a delightful hostess and is very helpful with organizing everything from snorkel equipment to excursions to Mayan temples. She can also assist with airport transfers and taxis.
