LyricalFlow - Dance, Stretch, Unfurl

Service Description

Everyone needs to stretch, right? A lot, in all different ways, to keep their body's working well and release built up stresses and tensions in the tissues. What if yoga wasn't the only option for stretching, and we could dance for an hour, instead? Class format: Standing dance-stretch tracks, a warm-up then building in muscular depth as we go. Around 3 tracks on the mat/floor (removing the balance element!). A closing mindfulness meditation (wrap up warm as your heart rate slows - blankets are welcome!). I've been teaching this programme, under a different name, for 9 years now, and clients have said to me "it's like zumba and yoga had a baby". For me, it's more than that. If music and dancing make you feel good, the POWER of stretching to music, of moving at taking up space in a way that compliments the track (and we use a range of music styles!) you can feel something more than just your muscles releasing. Stretching style is mostly Dynamic Stretching - we do have some stretches we hold a little longer to develop flexibility at the peak of class, but mostly we are moving in and out of the range available to each of us. THIS MEANS if there are any shapes your body doesn't like, not only can I give you alternatives, but we are never in one shape for very long before we've flowed into the next. We don't all need to do the same thing, it's about finding what your body needs, and that's what makes LyricalFlow magic. IMPORTANT: If you don't like dancing, or the idea of dancing, this won't be the flexibility class for you. If you have no dance experience but would like more dancing in your life, this IS the class for you (and also seasoned dancers).
