In collaboration with independent choreographer and Juilliard Alumni, Elizabeth Clark, Kress Pavilion hosts “Finding your Center* Movement class on Thursday mornings at 9 AM
Set in the Great Hall on Thursday mornings, the class will include music, flexibility and strength building in a casual atmosphere. Participants will facilitate “finding your center” with breath and body balance. Starting from the ground upward to the top of your head, we will practice movements which connect you with your body, heart and intellectual wholeness. This new class will also enhance and complement your current Yoga practice. Particular “hand gesture” routines can improve cognitive functioning as well as eye and hand co-ordination. Our “spinal mobilization” movement series is a movement path toward the prevention of osteoporosis. Visualizations and “mental sense impressions” will improve ease in daily life, improve well being and the quality of relaxation.
