This class will work with articulations between fingers and shoulder blades and toes and pelvis to play with freeing our spines. It will draw from Body-Mind Centering and Steve Paxton’s Material for the Spine. We will play with simple “yoga like” explorations and improvisations.

Note: the class series will develop. It’s ok to show up to just the first class of the series, but after that it may be difficult to join in.
