Ground to Grow From is a free, accessible introduction to movement practices that use the ground (or floor) as a trusted support, a dynamic partner and an ever-present teacher. We will explore patterns of mobility based on Body-Mind Centering and Natural Movement principles, learning to cultivate our strength, balance, grace and coordination from the ground up.

There will be two parts to this class:

I. 75-minute warmup: getting to know gravity, points of contact awareness, developmental patterns; fundamentals of ground movements, stretches and joint mobilization

II. 60-minute practice: dynamic and challenging ground movements, animal locomotion, balance practice & whole-body engagement with the floor
