Creative Regulation Groups

Movement-based group experiences for connection, focus, and emotional regulation

Creative Regulation Groups at Flow Wellness offer structured, movement-based experiences designed to support emotional regulation, physical engagement, and social connection in a non-clinical, supportive environment.

These groups integrate gentle movement, rhythm, and creative expression to help participants reconnect with their bodies, improve coordination, and experience a sense of belonging and accomplishment.

All groups are adaptable, choice-based, and accessible to a wide range of abilities.

The Approach

Creative Regulation Groups are guided experiences that:

  • Encourage present-moment awareness

  • Support nervous system regulation through rhythm and movement

  • Foster group connection and shared participation

  • Emphasize accessibility, dignity, and choice

Participants are invited to engage at their own pace, with options for seated or standing participation depending on the group.

Group Offerings

Dance Therapy (Salsa-Inspired Movement)

This movement-based group uses simple salsa-inspired steps to guide participants in noticing how their feet, legs, and arms move through space.

The focus is on:

  • Concentration and body awareness

  • Coordination and physical engagement

  • Enjoyment of rhythmic movement

Participants are encouraged to explore movement in a supportive, non-judgmental environment where the emphasis is on experience rather than performance.

Disco for Divas

Disco for Divas is an upbeat, inclusive dance experience inspired by classic disco movements such as the hustle, the bump, and the electric slide.

This group supports:

  • Coordination and rhythm

  • Walking patterns, including backward movement

  • Cardiovascular engagement in a fun, accessible way

Movements are adapted to meet participants where they are, creating a lively and encouraging space for all skill levels.

Happy Baby Stretching

Happy Baby Stretching focuses on gentle movement and stretching to support flexibility in the lower back and legs — areas commonly affected by prolonged sitting.

Participants may choose to work:

  • On a mat

  • In a chair

The session includes:

  • Simple, effective stretches

  • Guided pacing and breath awareness

  • A concluding “rocking baby”–inspired movement to promote relaxation

Modifications are offered throughout. The session structure also supports autonomy, responsibility, and group cooperation in shared spaces.

Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga offers gentle, seated movement designed to improve flexibility, body awareness, and relaxation.

This group focuses on:

  • Slow, intentional stretches

  • Mindful breathing

  • Nervous system regulation through steady, supported movement

All movements are performed seated, with options to adjust range of motion based on comfort, fatigue, balance, or mobility needs. The session concludes with a seated, rocking movement inspired by “rocking baby” to help release tension and promote calm.

Country Line Dance / Boots to the Ground

This group uses simple, rhythmic line-dance patterns to foster connection, confidence, and shared enjoyment.

Participants move together in:

  • Repetitive, easy-to-follow steps

  • Gentle patterns designed for accessibility

The emphasis is on community, rhythm, and participation — creating a welcoming environment where connection happens naturally through movement.

Who These Groups Are For

Creative Regulation Groups are well suited for:

  • Individuals seeking structured, supportive movement experiences

  • People transitioning after periods of stress, treatment, or isolation

  • Disability and senior communities

  • Groups looking for accessible, non-competitive physical activity

Programs can be adapted for community settings, healthcare-adjacent environments, and virtual delivery.

What to Expect

Creative Regulation Groups are:

  • Choice-based and trauma-informed

  • Accessible to varying abilities and energy levels

  • Focused on engagement rather than performance

  • Designed to support regulation, connection, and enjoyment

Participants are always invited — never pressured — to move in ways that feel supportive.
