Movement Classes for Youth & Adults
Next round of classes Starting march & April 2024
Come once-per week and give yourself the gift of feeling better -- in body, mind and soul.
No experience is necessary, and the classes are open
to any gender, and a wide range of abilities and moods.
~~
Classes are informed by Alana's training in the Nia Technique (which combines Martial Arts, Dance Arts, and Healing Arts) as well as a variety of somatic and self-tending practices.
~~
We'll start with gentle instruction for dropping in/becoming present/giving our bodies the gift of free expression time without judgement. Then we learn and deepen our confidence and flexibility through repeating simple movements that can be embellished for as much of a work-out and/or tender release as you want!
You will learn a variety of basic moves, have plenty of space for freestyle and adaptation to make the moves fit your body's way, all while getting familiar with a beautiful landscape of music.
