Body mapping is diverse and can be used in different settings. This class will help you learn ways to use the eyes and body mapping in your ongoing exercise routine, rather that be boxing, large amplitude/big movements, strength, or balance.

We will use previous techniques to help integrate the whole body (left and right, lower and upper) during movements. For example, learn how to integrate the lower and upper half of your body while using the eyes to improve rotation during boxing.

Class will be a moderate to higher pace and level but seated variations will be given throughout class.

Equipment needed: Chair, exercise mat, hand towel, small hand weights, and a second chair/walker/foam roller/wall for support during chair to standing transitions

This class is live, so stay tuned towards the end of class and partake in a Q&A to discuss what worked for you or find what adjustments you could make!

Please keep a bottle of water nearby. Enjoy the session!

Join us for a fun, holiday-themed class that provides a comprehensive workout, including strength, balance, coordination, and aerobic exercises.  Based on the zany holiday tradition of Festivus, we will perform feats of strength, air grievances about hard to do (but worthwhile!) aerobic exercises, work on balance with our Festivus poles, and finish off with miraculous coordination exercises.

This one-of-a-kind class integrates evidence-based exercises in an upbeat and engaging format. The only equipment required is a pole - could be a cane, tall umbrella, or broom. Seated and standing options will be offered.
