DESCRIPTION:
Class series with the certified teacher of the Axis syllabus, 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 (Certified  teacher)

WHAT IS THE AXIS SYLLABUS?
The Axis Syllabus is a compendium or encyclopedia 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, injuries, and movement practices. Teachers of the Axis Syllabus use these references to inform movement choices to explore the what, where, and, how of efficiency and safe risk-taking, and common-sense applications of principles that apply to every-life activities as well, such as climbing, horseback riding, construction work, sports, dance, running, etc. 

ALL LEVELS: Those with disabilities are welcome and accommodations are offered. Let’s talk about what you may need to attend.
