SOMATIC CONTEMPORARY CLASSES (INTERMEDIATE)
Thursdays, 10:30-11:45am EDT
Engaging oppositional lines of force, grounding techniques, anatomical imagery, finding more space in the joints and fluid shifting of weight, allows the mover to hone in on sensory awareness and deepen into the body. We will engage and strengthen our technique through a slow and sustained, embodied warmup incorporating elements from yoga, Feldenkreis, functional conditioning, and breath-work, bringing us up onto our feet for contemporary technical phrase-work, followed by short improvisation play. We'll practice gathering into and away from our centers, the texture with which our body meets the space, and integrating both line/shape and release technique.
​
This is an intermediate class with more advanced options to add on.

YOGALICIOUS ~ MORE YUM IN YOUR YOGA, MORE JUICE IN YOUR JOINTS!
Mondays, 11am-12pm EDT
Developing awareness of how to transition into and out of our yoga poses helps create more connections in our neurology and physiology. Consciously executed transitions helps the practitioner to match effort and pleasure. Engaging oppositional lines of force, grounding techniques, anatomical imagery, finding more space in the joints and fluid shifting of weight, allows the yogi to hone in on sensory awareness and play energetically.
​
This open level, intermediate yoga class (with options for more vigorous modifications) emphasizes transition and flow as well as static strength-building centered around thematic practices, eg. Hip Mobility and Pelvic Stability; Recovery from Disequilibrium.
A perfect fit for yogis, athletes, embodiment practitioners, dancers and other performing artists including singers and actors, tai chi, chi gong and wellness practitioners, and anyone wanting to enrich awareness while conditioning the body, allowing for deeper experience and expression.
ANIMATO DANCE ART: KINETICA MOVEMENT SESSIONS
July 12, 2025
This improvisational method of Israeli artist Nadine Bommer is inspired by the endless motion of the sea and of the kinetic energy both within and surrounding our bodies. Kinetica provides a step by step process to create a uniquely personal movement language. It cultivates full control of fluid, malleable and expansive movement using internal listening. The technique brings the mover to a state of "losing the bodily form". Control of kinetics allow the mover to "sketch" and demonstrate the movement of energy in the space with their body. Keenly listening brings the dancers to move uniquely in a continuous, fascinating and limitless manner.
