Lis is one of my favourite movement facilitators in Berlin. She creates a space that feels authentic, welcoming, accessible, and wonderfully queer-friendly.
After sustaining a serious knee injury during a performance, I struggled to trust my body again or find a class where I felt free to move and dance without fear—or without feeling like I wasn't "good" or "strong" or "fit" enough. Lis's Fluent Body classes offered exactly what I needed: a gentle yet deeply supportive space to explore movement again and reconnect with my body in a meaningful, playful way.
What I appreciate most is the invitation to meet yourself exactly where you are. Lis creates a calm and clear atmosphere - there is no performative pressure to be anything other than who you are when you walk into the room. Whether you're arriving with joy, grief, rage, exhaustion, curiosity, or everything all at once, there's space for it. Lis creates an environment where all emotions are welcome and movement becomes a way of allowing and listening to your body rather than trying to change or fix it. That sense of acceptance has been deeply healing for me.
These classes have become a cherished weekly ritual—an essential part of both my movement practice and my nervous system care. I always leave feeling more grounded, more connected to myself, and more at home in my body. I'm incredibly grateful for Lis and the beautiful, playful space she creates.
