THURSDAYS | 9.30 – 10.45am | Queen’s Park Govanhill Church, 170 Queen’s Dr, Glasgow G42 8QZ
The class includes both set materials and improvisations to train the clarity and embodiment through release based technique. We start with gentle way-in to our moving body, often focus on breath and energy paths to find attentiveness. With a few simple repetitive exercises we will try to find a deeper understanding of gravity, alignments and skeletal connections. The class is designed to develop your stamina and strength as we will move through with full bodied engagement and articulation. Some phrass are repeated over a few weeks to explore familiar and unfamiliar coordination of movement vocabulary.
FRIDAYS | 9.30am-10.45am | Kinning Park Complex, 43 Cornwall St, G41 1BA
The class starts with giving space to breathe, land or ponder then offering some images or small questions to navigate an explorative journey. Using various imageries, somatic exercises, or looking at other species or other art forms as hints or metaphors, we explore the anatomical potential and find the connections in things we live with. We will enrich our embodiment and feed into your practice. The class welcomes all movers. Aya cares about the journey of each class and within the inclusive facilitation, will move with openness and playfulness to cultivate the moving body together.
