About

Kari Ostensen (they/them) is an AmSAT certified Alexander Technique Teacher, movement educator, and independent movement artist based in New Haven, CT. Their work explores the mind-body connection, how trauma and grief show up in the body, and creating spaces for deepening awareness and embodiment so we can be more present in our bodies and our communities.

As someone living with chronic illness, they prioritize dialogue, consent, and an anti-ableist framework in all of their teaching and performance work. They bring their lived experience and knowledge of hypermobility, POTS, and other autonomic nervous system conditions to their work with folks.
