Class Description:
This class will use the principles of Bartenieff Fundamentals to tune in to our bodies, release tension, and find new patterns of movement. For this series we will explore how the underlying concepts of Bartenieff Fundamentals support the three dimensional movement of Rudolph Laban's Harmonic Scales. This class will be done primarily lying on a mat with movement that is slow and gentle and ends in standing to integrate and prepare our minds and bodies to move throughout the day. Leave this class feeling grounded, renewed, and refreshed.
