In this course, we will explore the structure and primary movements of the feet, ankles, toes, and legs and how they are connected to the entire skeleton. Each class features an exercise, or “lesson,” involving gentle movements done slowly with minimal effort, while paying attention to one’s own personal experience. Students will determine how big, how fast, or how “well” they do the exercises as they are guided through enjoyable sequences, exploring and discovering ways of moving with spontaneity and awareness. These exercises are safe, fun puzzles for the nervous system and brain, designed to help students remember, learn, and create new patterns of behavior. This course is ideal for all ages and abilities and participants will be involved in their own process of learning. Students will increase their balance, turn more easily, and reduce tension as they adjust and move with more comfort and ease. It is beneficial to repeat this course.
NOTE: A waiver must be signed prior to the first class. There is no class on Monday, January 20, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
