We Are Luminous Energy Beings...
When experiencing imbalances in the body,
our flow of energy can be blocked or distorted.
Restorative Movement
&
Dance
Restorative Movement & Dance, influenced by my life long dance training, and my passion and commitment to the healing arts, continues to evolve as the journey into maturation continues.
Restorative Movement & Dance, is about fluid and breathful alignment.
Moving from your core, sensing the pleasure of the music and your body moving through space, feeling inner strength and outer coordination.
The focus of my classes are no longer driven by the height of a leg, multiple turns, high jumps, complex movement patterns and the perfect technique.
Restorative Movement & Dance Classes to Restore Joy, sensing and feeling Joy within the body..
Appropriate for all.
-
Class begins on the floor, warming up and connecting with our breath
-
Opening joints and sensing into our musculature.
-
We progress to standing, moving the spine through different planes of movement.
-
Explorations for finding length, stretch, strength and coordination.
-
Followed by simple movement patterns across the floor.
Experiences
Rita Rivera’s Restorative Movement Class, based upon the Alexander Technique, has allowed me to begin to move toward a level integration in body awareness that somehow years of yoga and other movement training had still missed.
I can take what I’ve learned here and reapply it to my yoga practice. Already my balance in standing poses has increased because I am becoming better able to integrate my limbs with my spine. As a yoga teacher, I am aware that people look at how I hold myself, and yet I struggle with posture issues related to previous injuries as well as scoliosis.
Rita’s Restorative Movement has started to give me a new and
subtle language of posture to help increase my physical presence and poise. When I first found out about the class I had an intuitive sense that I had to try it and I’m so glad that I did!
