Strength & Flexibility

Strength & Flexibility

Strength & Flexibility

Strength and flexibility training is part of a good foundation of movement. Here we will go over progressions to build whole body strength, moving in different planes, mastering bodyweight, utilising weights where appropriate, and developing a base to build from.

Strength is much more useful when the body has the mobility to express it, we will use a variety of methods to increase whole body flexibility, to build healthy movement patterns, and keep the body working well.

This workshop is about movement quality. We learn the movements well, keep it challenging but doable. I want people to be healthy in the long run, strong, mobile and injury free.

Basic strength work, push ups, pull ups, squats, lunges...etc using bodyweight exercises, weights, rings, and whatever else is effective in developing a holistic approach to getting stronger and more flexible.

The workshop costs 100 chf, please contact me to sign up :)

Workshop: Surviving Dance Crash Moments

Workshop: Surviving Dance Crash Moments

Accidents are a part of our lives. The outcome of these "out of our control moments" is subject to our instinctive patterns. These acquired and inherited patterns will determine how we react in these "out of our control" moments, in relation to gravity, space and time.
Intentionally entering controlled accidents and gradually letting go of control can allow us to train and re-pattern our instincts, to react faster and with greater skill and therefore to take on greater risks with more security as we fly, fall and crash.
