Playshop: "Intro to Animal Flow"
Facilitated by Vivien Reece
Date: Sunday, September 7th; 4-5:30pm
(Free play/community hang until 6:30pm)
Where: 1133 Maplewood Ave, Ypsilanti, MI
(Outdoors. Side Yard. This is the residence of a friend. Plentiful neighborhood parallel parking along the streets.)
Animal Flow is a ground-based movement system and calisthenics conditioning choreography whose practice and play promote greater bodyweight strength, mobility, and agility. It fosters understanding of and creativity with your body in space and it is a great way to work out. In this workshop I will teach you most of the basic movements of level 1, and we will perform flows and execute games of movement expression together. You will leave with some new movement capabilities, some ideas for more fun and creative home workout drills, and a couple of impressive yet accessible animal flows to express your body’s playful power.
Pre-reqs: Please at the time of the workshop be free of current wrist injuries, especially ones which trigger pain when flexed and load bearing. The wrists will be in flexion and carrying your body weight for most of the practice, with many breaks of course. So if holding yourself in a plank pose with flexed wrists hurts your wrists at the level of immediate pain rather than strain over time, please sit out and feel free to watch the movers and visualize yourself there when your wrists are recovered.
Ages: 13 to 100! As long as you can get your hands and knees on the ground I can help you through these movements. Minors are required to have a responsible adult with them.
Max participants: 20 (please pre-register!)
Energy Exchange: pay-what-you-can $15-$45.
