BANNER IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A person stands in a field of grass with their hands upraised. Overlaid is a woman reaching in an ark over her head as well as the Unicamp of Ontario Logo which read "Unicamp- where you value come to play" written in rainbow lettering.
Study functional movement, led by Kathleen Rea. Information is relevant to the training, preparation, and performance of the moving human body and comparative data on flexibility, strength, alignment, injuries, and movement practices. Anatomical attributes and ways of moving that are basically safe and energy conservative will be explored. 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)
