Home | THE BODY IS HOME

INSPIRED BY MOVEMENT. POWERED BY PEOPLE. LINKED BY COMMUNITY.

The Body is Home is a multidisciplinary research initiative exploring what it means to be at home in our bodies through movement, sport, and community.

Our work Is facilitated by the IDEAS Research Lab.

"One might think of it as a coming together of sorts, where we can come home to ourselves, our breath, every moment, tears, sips of water, or a connection. Home is then a metaphor that exists within and between the self and the many parts that make a [us] whole.

In either form, it underscores how movement and community help us find, define, defy (sometimes cry), and reclaim what it means to be and feel at home in our bodies. It's transformative, driven by passion, purpose, and people."

- Asha Edwin, Founder

WELCOME HOME.

WE FOCUS ON CHALLENGING AND CONCEPTUALIZING OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR BODIES AND HOW THIS HELPS US UNDERSTAND, DEFINE, AND PRATICE WELLNESS.
