Posted by: Justin    Posted date:  May 16, 2011  |  No comment


UPDATE: I'm no longer teaching at KUNST-STOFF arts. See my yoga page for a current schedule, which includes Saturday and Sunday class at 11am, at The Loft SF (aka: The Yoga Loft). Come out to this morning class at the new KUNST-STOFF arts space, located at 1 Grove St. near the Civic Center BART station. Monday & Wednesday, 10am at KUNST-STOFF arts (click for more info)
Start your week with this energizing practice designed to mobilize the body and quiet the mind. For dancers and non-dancers alike, this class is traditionally based and will incorporate freeform and structured movement that will ensure you're safely warmed, worked, envigorated and rested. Beginners welcome.

Classes will emphasize:

Recently I took over for Vincent Cacialano's movement analysis class in the Modern Theater Department at the AHK Theaterschool, Amsterdam. As an assignment the students each created a simple choreography and then used anatomical terms to describe the movement of the bones and major joints.
