In the body, muscles are the main connective tissue that regulates all our activities. In this class, participants are invited to increase muscle awareness which is crucial in carrying out the multiple functions of the body, in both for professional dancers and daily activities. Together, participants will practice simple Pilates principles where they will rework their connection with their muscles through breathing exercises, stability, and processing diverse emotions. This class can be followed by anyone, and offers applicable movements to maintain muscles and the body holistically.
Venue: Teguh Karya Room, Taman Ismail Marzuki
