These classes are based on Restorative Exercise and the premise that by optimally aligning the parts of our body and relearning natural reflex driven patterns of movement, we will regain the ability to move with more integrity and freedom and experience less injury and pain. With an eye toward making adjustments to our habits and lifestyle, we will also develop efficiency and skill in natural human movements.

Using the lens of Restorative Exercise, we'll look at the skills of Natural Human Movement: from ground movement to crawling, jumping, walking, running, lifting, carrying, etc. We'll explore how alignment adjustments and shifts in habits can get more of our bodies moving and create better efficiency in these fundamental movements. We'll also explore transitioning between our skills to create movement flow.

Breathwork is often the gateway toward meditation. The breath is also the key toward better movement, and relaxation. But this fundamental action of breathing is often restricted through poor motor programs, and faulty movement habits. In this class, we'll explore the mechanics of breathing, how the breath helps move the body and how the body can free our breath. The second half of class will lead to meditation techniques derived from yogic and mindfulness traditions.
