Song of the Body provides sessions, classes and events centered on learning to listen and respond to the body’s intelligence as a path of healing and creative expression. Owner Francesca Lilac Genco has brought her 20-year practice from Berkeley, California, offering yoga, bodywork, Authentic Movement and voice work, to the Westchester region. She was born in Nyack and lived in Tarrytown as a child.

Genco teaches yoga in the tradition of Vanda Scaravelli and is also influenced by her exploration of Contact Improvisation, the Feldenkrais Method and Body/Mind Centering. A professional singer and featured vocalist in Serj Tankian’s orchestral concert, Invocations, in Los Angeles, she wrote and published the book Singing the Body into Being ~ Healing Yourself and Community through Song, and leads retreats and workshops for women and for teenage girls.

“My goal is to help you learn to connect to and follow your body's intelligence, which allows you to release patterns that no longer serve you,” shares Genco. “This will open you to your innate creativity and your ability to heal at the deepest levels.”
