Conscious Dance Practices/InnerMotion/The Guidebook

"A path to embodied freedom through mindful movement"

This guidebook is part of InnerMotion — a conscious dance practice created by Miloš Gačanović. It offers a structured way to explore your relationship with movement, emotion, and self-expression through the body.

InnerMotion is not about learning dance steps. It’s about remembering how to move freely and authentically — how to trust your body’s natural rhythm and intelligence, and how to reconnect with yourself through music, emotion, and sensation.

The guidebook is meant to be read in sequence, but each section also stands on its own. You’ll find techniques, reflective prompts, and embodiment tools that help you ground your awareness, unlock emotional clarity, and move with greater ease and confidence.

Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned dancer, this book meets you where you are — and invites you to go deeper.

You can read the entire guide online for free. If you'd like to support the DanceResource.org project, you can do so by purchasing a copy at innermotion.dance. All proceeds go directly toward sustaining DanceResource.org —helping us keep the platform open, independent, and accessible to conscious dancers and movement communities around the world.
