FULL BODY
THE WORKSHOP
This workshop has two main goals. First create consciousness about our own body, recognizing muscular efforts to be able to accomplish movement phrases, sequences and exercises through personal and external territory, while covering lower, medium and high levels of movement in and out of space. Identify the awareness of the muscular effort needed for a proper achievement of spirals, speed, floor entrances and exits and the adaptability to encounter unexpected situations and possible accidents.
Secondly is the usefulness in the appropriation of all participants' tools and experiences captured throughout their physical training history which reflects in their unique personal approach.
