I teach Yoga and Movement Arts. The class will be based on Yoga fundamentals, including poses, flowing movement and breathing/centering techniques and on a set of Movement Theater principles called Viewpoints, which fosters spatial awareness, collaboration and creativity. Elements such as dance, dance theater and martial arts will be incorporated, as well as students' interests, abilities and musical ideas. Depending on our space, we will also incorporate site specific techniques in our explorations.
My life-long involvement in movement, performance, language, philosophy, visual art and music, form the basis of what I strive to foster with my student collaborators. The inspiration and creative potential in each person is there waiting to be uncovered and nurtured, at whichever place they find themselves in the process. 3. I am a long time Dancer, Actor, Performance Artist, Yogi, and Filmmaker. I have taught Dance and Yoga to children and adults in the past, and again more recently since completing my Yoga Teacher Training last year.
My interests include connecting with Nature (hiking, beach visits, traveling), awareness & action on environmental issues, reading, connecting with community, friends & family, conversation and laughing.
