Class descriptions

*Qigong

is an ancient movement art from China developed by the Taoists (a philosophy developed out of meditation and observing the laws of nature, such as Ying and Yang) used for balance, strength, and health. Eva’s lineage is from Mantak Chia’s Universal Tao, but she has incorporated other lineages as well as the Japanese Jin Shin Jyiutsu. One of the aims of Qigong is to harness energy for a long healthy, productive life and to develop all of our human capacities and positive virtues possible.

*Release, Stretch & Strengthen:

This class is a smart way to stretch, align, and strengthen the core and fascia. This training is informed by Eva Alewa’s 40 years of movement studies and experience: Contemporary Dance, Release Technique, Feldenkrais, Body-Mind Centering, WaveContinuum, Qigong, and Yoga. Dancers have specific training that strengthens their core and legs and gives them a lot of flexibility. Release Technique is one of those pieces of training. This class, adapted for people from all walks of life and age, will strengthen the core and legs, open the joints, unwind, and lengthen the connective tissues. Especially when we get older, it is advisable to engage in muscle-building movements. But do not dry our system, we must stay away from very linear and too strenuous exercise.....

*Dare to Dance

is an invitation to find your joy through movement and dance. Maybe you have always wanted to dance or even work with improvisation, or perhaps you would like to kickstart your creativity. We will do a short warm-up, opening joints and waking up muscle and connective tissue. Then we work with structured movement improvisation to lead into a free open dance space with music that ends in a loving self-care warm down... This is your opportunity to break free and dance. Please try this class for free. Workshops 

*SmartMoves/Feldenkrais:

This class starts with Qigong sitting on a chair. We first wake up our electromagnetic currents and balance our organs, Lymph system, and energy centers. We incorporate movement that stretches and opens joints, Jin Shin Jyutsu energy locks, Healing Sounds, and self-massage. While seated, we may transition into a Feldenkrais lesson®, which eventually continues and ends on the floor, or transition straight from Qigong to laying down for Feldenkrais.   75 minutes class

*Feldenkrais Maintenance- in the works recorded classes

This class is great if you are a little in a time crunch. It can reset and get you out of tension. It will remind your nervous system to settle and realign your spine and mind. Nice to do after one of the longer stretch classes as well or in combination.
