October 2024: Holding Your Breath
Our breath responds flexibly to our activities throughout the day. We are born to that responsiveness, but everyday stresses tend to shut it down. Awareness Through Movement® lessons reawaken options for adapting breath to action – from moment to moment – with flexibility and power.
Time
Thursdays, October 3, 10 & 17 from 7:00-8:00 PM Eastern. Unfortunately, the minimum number of registrations wasn’t met, so the series is canceled.
November 2024: Walking on This Earth
Walking – standing on one leg, then the other – is a form of learning and re-learning balance, moment to moment. This series of lessons highlights the liveliness of the bones of the foot, their power for forward impetus, and the lively support that translates up through the whole skeleton to move us comfortably and powerfully through the world.
Time
Thursdays, November 7, 14 & 21 from 7:00-8:00 PM Eastern
