Ceremonial • Liberating • Authentic
Aimee Cox
Aimee is an anthropologist, movement artist, and Associate Professor at New York University. Her passions intersect in exciting ways and are rooted in deep respect for embodied wisdom and community. She holds space in Class with deep care and an abundance of joy.
Aimee’s hope is that we can learn to feel into our hearts and find the courage to fly, fueled by the powerful medicine that is movement. She is invested in our potential to liberate ourselves from the conventions that make us small and fearful, so that we can practice a radical kindness that extends beyond ourselves and what is familiar.

The Class x Flow with Aimee“Aimee's classes always serve as medicine for me. There is something about the strength and beauty of her leadership that feels deeply authentic and meets me right where I need to be met. This was one of those classes that I know I can come back to again and it will be different and just as powerful.”
