DESCRIPTION:
Class series with the certified teacher of the Axis syllabus, Kathleen Rea. Together we will study information on flexibility, strength, alignment, anatomical attributes, and ways of moving that aim to be safe and energy-conservative. Kathleen will refer to physics, anatomy, and relevant scientific data from various fields through the lens of the Axis Syllabus. The classes are experiential. Information from the Axis Syllabus will be applied to movement practices that aim to be accessible.
WHAT IS THE AXIS SYLLABUS? The Axis Syllabus is a compendium of information relevant to the training, preparation, and performance of the moving human body. The Axis Syllabus refers to physics, anatomy, and relevant scientific data on flexibility, strength, alignment, and injuries. Teachers of the Axis Syllabus use these information-references to inform their own movement choices and practices and to explore the what, where, and, how of efficiency and safe risk-taking. Common-sense applications can be explored that apply information from the Axis Syllabus to all of life's activities as well as specific practices such as climbing, horseback riding, construction work, sports, dance, running, etc. Those that want to be involved in the Axis Syllabus form an international community through the ASRM (The Axis Syllabus Research Meshwork) a dynamic and interactive forum of teachers, researchers, and students.
ALL LEVELS: Those with disabilities are welcome and accommodations are offered. Let’s talk about what you may need to attend.
TIME: 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm
