Class Details:
Based in Graham technique, this class will explore integration of release and expansiveness within the movement language. Working on concepts around moving from the centre, use of breath, and flow, we begin with floorwork then move through standing and travelling work. The class can be tailored to your body as we aim to understand core principles of this work together, finding expression and individuality.
