Dance practice often delivers us to fluidity, power and release. The default shapes and patterns, a lifetime of unconscious accumulation—structural, emotional, mental—hold many stories. How, where, why do I hold on to stress? Join Erik & Bella for a playful informative practice that will shift your dance in an effortless way. We’ll move back and forth between foam rolling and dancing so please have a roller for full participation. The right density is so key. This is expertise garnered over two long lifetimes offering long-term health both on and off dance floor. Come move, come breathe, come change.
Erik Iversen started a path of waking himself up by massaging feet. Moving up the leg he started a 35 year practice of Hellerwork Structural Integration at the same time dancing and teaching 5Rhythms. Go to www.erik.iversen.ca if you’d like to read more about this story.
All you need is your willingness and a mat, foam roller, two tennis balls taped together, two yoga blocks, a blanket and access to a wall. Need to purchase a foam roller or blocks? Need instructions for double tennis ball wrap? Details on preparing for class
I offer great verbal cuing, so if you’re an auditory learner, don’t want to video-focus or don’t wish to be viewed on screen…perfectly OK. If you’re a visual learner, I offer close ups and long views. Positioning your mat parallel or diagonal to screen is ideal. The image on your screen is what I see. Sometimes I offer cues if I’m able to see you fully when you lie down, sit and stand.
Session is available to view and/or download for one week following each session by email request. You can enroll, not attend and request the video recording.
