Power and grace from the core. Develop awareness of pelvis, spine, and shoulder-girdle in relation to the limbs so movement can become more focused and more efficient. No experience necessary.
Pre-registration & Fee required. $125 per person, $150 per person if registered after June 1.
Pull up a mat in the Schmauch Meeting Room, close your eyes, and prepare yourself for a gentle, yet surprisingly effective movement exploration. A sequence of compelling movement suggestions will draw your attention to the way you move and how you relate to yourself and your environment. As you become aware of your body, your preferences and your habits, you will find yourself spontaneously discovering new and better ways of moving and being in the world. Offered daily from July 4-July 7. Class times to be announced..
Josh teaches in the Boston area, and will soon be selling recordings of his lessons at www.discover-yourself.com.
Experience the immediate pleasure and freedom of movement that comes with restoring communication between your brain and your muscles. You will be guided through slow, simple movements that release the muscle tension caused by stress, anxiety, injuries, and surgery. You will release stiffness in your spine and joints, feel more relaxed, move easier, breathe more fully, and learn a brief routine to maintain freedom on your own…a missing link in fitness. Times TBD. Please bring a yoga mat. Comfortable clothes & bare feet.

Kilombo Novo is a community of people that study the Afro-Brazilian martial art called Capoeira Angola. This family of community members and professionals seeks to reduce urban violence, trauma, and loss caused by poverty and living in disenfranchised neighborhoods who face racism, classism, access to deadly weapons and drugs, negative images in the media, and STD’s. The Capoeira Angola programs provides not only discipline, but tools to function as a healthy society – physically, mentally and spiritually through the philosophy, practice, and history of Capoeira Angola’s indigenous knowledge and wisdom.
Kilimbo is an African word that means a community, group or tribe. Novo is a Brazilian Portuguese word that means new. Kilimbo Novo = New Community.
