Workshop 1: Why move so slowly? Focus on Pelvis
We will experiment with a progressive sequence of movements. In the beginning we will move very slowly, and then make the movements bigger and bigger. The overall goals are:
- Release tension around the hip joints (IT-Band area and adductors),
- Activate the rib cage to support the movements of the pelvis
- Comfortable and safe movements that are suitable for every age, from young fitness professionals up to the active elder community.
Workshop 2: Why move so slowly? Focus on Neck and Upper chest
We will experiment with a progressive sequence of movements. In the beginning we will move very slowly, and then make the movements bigger and bigger. The overall goals are:
- Release tension in the neck and upper chest (in between the shoulder blades and under the arm pits),
- Learn to use movement differentiation as a tool
- Comfortable and safe movements that are suitable for every age, from young fitness professionals up to the active elder community.
Workshop benefits for the student / workshop attendee
Students will experience first hand
- Rather than challenge your skills in the areas of flexibility, strength and endurance, in this workshop you will improve your skills in the areas of movement refinement and how well you can sense movement.
- How movements that are done very slowly and small can have a big effect.
- Make upright walking feel and look smoother, lighter and more elegant.
