Enliven your Feet to Support Whole Body Health

Enliven your feet using props and movements to shake off the winter boots. We will explore ways to enhance foot mobility and dexterity – the antidote for stiff ankles; aching heels and arches; and scrunched up toes. Enhance the receptivity of the feet and feel the rebound of the earth. Awaken your soles for more grounded-ness, better balance and increased pleasure of the world below. Perfect for yogis, dancers, gardeners, runners and curious feet of all kinds.

$15/class or $50/series

During the cold and dry climate of winter, breathing can become compromised, shallow and restricted. Breathing has an impact on our whole body and all of our systems. What are our options? Discover effortless breathing and unleash its power for your health and well-being. Breathing is about more than the lungs and diaphragm. Breathing is a whole body, integrated movement; and a brilliant sequence of molecular events.

In this workshop you will increase the knowledge of your own anatomy and physiology with hands-on and movement learning tools. Then, explore different techniques that will reveal the benefits of full-body breathing on your energy, mood, posture and physical activity. You may be pleasantly surprised to experience the impacts of your own breath.

Anneliese Mordhorst is a movement professional based in New Paltz. She teaches Pilates, Fitness and Embodied Movement to people of all ages and abilities. Creating safe environments for healing, gaining confidence and understanding of one’s body is her specialty.
