Hoop Dance (Beginner Level 2 Series): Click here for full details about this class. This class will be geared towards the beginner who is not totally new to hoop dance. It is a great segue from the student who has taken my Intro “Stepping into the Hoop” Series or another Beginner class where the basics (waist hooping in 1st and 2nd current, moving around in the hoop, vertical hand-hooping in both hands and both currents, passes, weaves, lifts and drops) were covered. If you feel you have a decent foundation in those moves, then this is the class for you.
We will begin to explore other areas of the body to hoop on such as the hips, thighs, chest and shoulders and incorporate other off-body moves such as isolations and body rolls.
Bonnie Brown has been practicing this art of Hoop Dance for over 5 years and teaching here in Sarasota for over 3. She is excited to teach this fun form of dance to many more people.
Adult-sized dance hoops will be provided for each class. These are larger, sturdier versions of the traditional “hula hoop.” Eventually you will want your own personal hoop to begin feeling comfortable and familiar with its own unique feel, size and weight. You can purchase a hand-crafted hoop from Bonnie during class or through her site here.
Please note that registration for our Hoop Dance classes are handled directly through the teacher, Bonnie. You may contact her at BonnieB@OutwardSpiral.net.
Kids Yoga: Calling awesome kids ages 5-10! Jessica Dilorenzo, arts integration specialist and kids yoga teacher, is excited to offer a dynamic 5 week kids yoga series (August 27 - September 24, 2017) that will include asana (yoga poses), storytelling, arts and crafts, and games. Each week will connect to a different element-earth, water, fire, air, and space, and will focus on building strength, confidence, and community!
All arts activities and games are infused with sprinklings of yogi wisdom, providing children with tools and experiences to tap in to their creativity, and support social-emotional skills. Children will gain awareness of the mind-body connection, all while having a tremendous amount of fun!
Signing up for all 5 classes will allow students to build long lasting friendships, trust, and collaboration skills. However, we will offer a drop in option as well.
As an added bonus, parents can take a lovely yoga class with Jamie while their children are in class. What a wonderful way for a family to bond over the weekend! Join us!
Kundalini Yoga: Kundalini Yoga is an ancient and powerful practice which works to strengthen the nervous and glandular systems and develop a meditative mind. These classes help to develop not only the strength of the body, but also one’s emotional and spiritual strength. Classes includes gentle warm ups, a yoga set of postures, movements, breathing techniques, and relaxation, followed by meditation utilizing mantra, breath, and often times the healing vibration of the Gong! Kundalini yoga is truly yoga for the mind, body, and spirit! All ages and levels welcome.
Mom and Baby Yoga: This class offers benefits for moms and their babies. In this playful practice, moms rebuild core strength and relieve neck and shoulder tension while bonding with their little ones and create lasting relationships with other moms. It is refreshing to be around others who are going through a similar experience. The class is designed for babies 6 weeks to 3 years but all are welcome.
Vinyasa Yoga: A vigorous style of yoga, which links breath and movement through a heat-building sequence. Check out our Vinyasa teacher bios here to learn more about each of their own influences and approach on teaching this style!
