Description: This class explores the basics of choreography and encourages using space to create individual movements. We will focus on body movement drills, isolation techniques, and most importantly, finding your groove (your own way of communicating through the dance in general).

Each month we will work on a combination that includes a specific technique and body isolation that pulls it all together to support your body’s fluidity.
Eligibility: This class is open to everyone looking to gain body awareness (and have fun). All stages & drop-ins welcomed!

Qigong & Meditation - Mon & Wed @ 8am EST

Qigong & Meditation
Schedule: Mondays & Wednesdays from 8:00-9:00am EST
Coach: Joel Massicot
Description: Cultivate peace of mind and tranquility by learning some basic techniques of meditative practices for aligning mind, body and soul with Joel Massicot.
The class starts off with a Chinese practice called Qigong, an internal system that helps a person become one with their life force energy. Many physical issues stem from mental and emotional stress that create imbalances within the energy centers of the body. Qigong practice helps us nurture self-healing by managing the stressful emotions that prey on the mind when our chi is not regulated or balanced. Through it, you can build a deeper awareness and efficiency of breath to support and help build stamina around the respiratory system.
We then end the class with mindful meditation to help the practice solidify a more grounded experience creating momentum and inspiration in a person’s daily routine.
What you will work on:
– Pranayama Meditation
– Movement Exercises (Tai Chi)
– Controlled Breathing
– Body Alignment
– Qi (Chi) Awareness
Eligibility: Class is open to all students. New students are welcome any time.
