A mini-intensive immersion into the experiences of movement (& stillness) arising from the cellular intelligence of the body-mind itself! Using the maps of anatomy, the approach of Body-Mind Centering®, and the intention of Yoga we’ll play & learn a variety of movement & stillness explorations from the felt sense of fluids, cells, bones, muscles, and so on.

Taking a close look and feeling at the spine from many vantage points, we’ll discuss, move, and consider ways to optimize the integrity, health, access, and ease of the spinal column and all its wonders.

Taking time to understand the complexity of the structure and movements of the upper limbs, we’ll learn and feel how they feed into the spine. We’ll discuss, move and consider ways for optimal integrity, health, access, and ease in the hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders as major organs of interfacing with our world!

The lower limbs are build for stability and agility! In this class we’ll clarify the structures and mobility of the lower limbs. We’ll discuss, move and consider ways for optimal integrity, health, access, and ease of the feet, ankles, knees, and hips for all the places they take us!

BENEFITS OF PRIVATE INSTRUCTION:

Individualized Attention
Private lessons allow your instructor to get to know you and your body better so you can create a practice that is tailored to your needs, and safe for your body.

Accelerated Learning
Receiving more detailed instruction means you may “progress” at a quicker rate in whatever way that is relevant to your practice.

Adaptable for Everyone
No matter what your skill level or abilities, your instructor will adapt your private sessions to meet you where you’re at so you can get the most out of your time together.

Privacy
Sometimes, practicing with other people you don’t know can feel intimidating at first. Private sessions can help to ease you into a class setting so you feel more comfortable.

Physical Benefits for Recovery
Yoga and Pilates are great for helping with recovery from a sports injury (as long as you get clearance from your Physical Therapist and/or Doctor to add these to your routine). With the individual attention of a private session, the outcome may greatly improve how you perform in your sport or other activities.
