Body-Mapping

With Paula Hoover
Sundays 2:30pm-4:30pm Fall Series: will be posted shortly

This workshop will focus on the somatic approach to movement through a dance, yoga and pilates perspective; you will learn to embody movement through different vantage points.

Penetrate levels of awareness and become mindful of the movement. So often we come to class and ‘shut off our minds’. Here you stimulate your mind and body, using both as a vehicle to experience states of intelligence. The more awareness a person can embody the happier and empowered that body becomes.

Explore movement patterns from the ordinary into the extraordinary moving through space in a fluid but precise manner.

The movement patterns presented combine Body/Mind Centering work, and Feldenkrais Yoga experience. Both practices together, reveal the spontaneous and inherent relationship of weight and shape shifting in your body moving fluidly through space. When these patterns are understood and experienced they can be weaved together to create fluid phrases of movement. The participant will encounter the horizontal and vertical relationships of moving from the floor into space with grace and ease.

This class is progressive. The sophistication of the movement patterns will be determined by the participants. This class in not appropriate for people with vertigo.

NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
