STEP : Shake up the rhythm , direction and intensity ! with Stephen Parker
For this quarter ’ s Specialty Series I want to show you a cute Step routine that I ’ ve been teaching to my participants recently . Starting from simple base moves , the layers unfold easily to reveal the final product , which contains some rhythm and directional changes , along with some bodyweight moves to give intensity to the routine . Lately I ’ ve been teaching in a way that gives my participants a few practise runs on each leg before changing over the lead leg . I ’ ve found this teaching style to be very successful , with participants really getting to grips with the choreography . Step to the beat and shake up the intensity ! bodyART : Free flowing energy pathways with Virginia Winsemann
Using the basis of TCM , bodyArt uses movements that stretch and massage meridian , or energy , pathways in the body to allow a free flow of energy , or chi . Meridians can be closely aligned to the fascial lines of the body , so the moves can serve a double purpose , unblocking energy pathways , and stretching and releasing fascia . Combining this with TCM ’ s Five Element theory , the movement sequences are beautifully aligned with the Metal element of Autumn which governs the lungs and large intestine . The movements stretch and massage the energy pathways which govern these organs to facilitate the feeling of creating and then releasing tension . bodyART Leve1 1 Training is taking place in Melbourne between 13-16 April . For details of the training , being delivered by bodyART founder Robert Steinbacher , and to register , contact mrcsirwin @ gmail . com
