BODY & MIND AWARENESS CLASS
- Sun. 9:00am~10:30am @Ballet Art{At City Center; 130West 56th st.}
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Created by Sun ae Hwnag, artistic director and choreographer of SUNPROJECT.
This class focuses on creating a connection between the mind and body through a series of meditation including 'awareness of breath', deep relaxation', calm the mind' and 'expanding spine'. It creates a peaceful meditation environment by guiding students to feel their bodies and the space.
The class starts with the students laying on the floor with their eyes closed. There, they focus on breathing, feeling the body and the space around them according to teacher's instruction. Then, through a slow combination of movement starting with the spine, each body part is encouraged to move focusing on the engagement of the spine and pelvis. Every movement will be guided to use the breath without forcing the body. The class ends with a final meditation focusing on the breath.
Each step helps students understand how their bodies and minds can work together in harmony. Especially, it facilitates them to move in accordance with their own natural body shape without pain, forcing, pressure. It can benefit to reduce back pain, relieve tension and release the stress.
All levels and experiences are welcome.
