Our mUvmethod Introductory Workshop is a yoga based condition, stretch and recover workshop. It is designed to release muscular, fascial and neural tension while improving strength, balance, posture, alignment and stability. Which allows dancers to meet the technically challenging aspects of dance with ease and efficiency free from pain and injury.
In this workshop we emphasize strength as well as flexibility.. Our particular approach to flexibility is an incredible way to assist dancers in deepening their flexibility and mobility at a safe and efficient rate. We incorporate effective ways to stretch for optimal results and teach students about the nervous system and how it regulates flexibility. Over time our students learn to work with rather than against it and see a rapid increase in flexibility.
Workshop Description
mUvmethod Workshops begin with a session of focused attention meditation, a.k.a., breath awareness. Followed by a short warm-up sequence and sun salutations to get the body moving and create heat. Moving to dynamic sequences, balancing postures, core abdominal and back work to enhance strength, mobility, balance and alignment. And end with active stretching to increase short and long term flexibility.
Workshops also include Open Monitoring Meditation, a form of mental training and stress management. Loving Kindness Meditation and a short rest period called, Savasana.
