This class explores a wide range of parallels to be found among ancient movement and healing practices from the Orient and Africa. Specifically, the Chinese martial arts of Kung Fu and T'ai Chi, Indian yogic practice, west african dance movements and bodywork techniques from a variety of sources will be explored. Each class will provide an integrated exercise session consisting of: warm up stretches, martial arts and afro-aerobic dance sequences, a cool down section focusing on bodywork techniques and a brief meditation. Students can thus expect the class to present a holistic exercise experience that emphasizes root symmetries that underlie many ancient and contemporary physical arts.
