DESCRIPTION:
Class series with the teacher Kathleen Rea. Together we will research flexibility, strength, alignment, anatomical attributes and ways of moving that are basically safe and energy conservative. Kathleen will refer to physics, anatomy, and relevant scientific data from various fields.
Kathleen is inspired to teach this content as part of her ongoing studies and practice of:
- The MELT Method system of working with Fascia (certified in hands and foot treatment)
- Buteyko Breath Technique (Certified Teacher). This training influences how Kathleen works with the diaphragm and oral tongue posture to influence core stability.
- Axis Syllabus (of which she is a teacher candidate)
