Playful, exploratory, energetic, and fun, Dynamic Flow is the perfect way to wake up your body and get it moving for the day.
In Dynamic Flow we use a soft, weighted rubber ball and flowing repetitive movement patterns to increase mobility, build core strength and stability, promote balance and improve cognitive health. The class will leave you in a state of relaxed readiness and present-minded awareness. Accessible to people of all fitness levels.
Music is a key element of the Morning Movement experience. While it frequently changes, here is a typical playlist for the class:
Morning Movement Playlist
While no two classes are ever the same, the general format is this:
Dynamic stretching ~ 5 mins
Ball work ~ 10 – 15 mins
Floor work ~ 5 – 10 mins
Standing meditation ~ 3 mins
We usually start with a bit of dynamic stretching, limbering up the wrists, shoulders, upper and
lower back, hips and ankles. We then explore a series of repetitive movements which involve swinging and tossing a lightly weighted rubber ball. These movements build dynamic balance, core stability, shoulder and torso mobility, hand-eye coordination and lower body strength, as well as cardiovascular and cognitive health. We then spend some time working on the floor, either on hands and knees, seated, and/or lying on our backs, doing movements that strengthen the muscles of the hips and lower back, core and arms. Finally, we come back to standing and close our eyes for a few minutes of meditation, focusing on the breath and physical sensations to bring us fully into the present moment.
Anyone and everyone! An excellent class for improving overall mobility, core strength, coordination and efficiency/ease of movement. The format for Level 1 & 2 classes is basically the same. Level 1 classes introduce the movement patterns with the ball, and include more personalized feedback if desired. Floor work is a little less rigorous. Level 2 classes are a little more dynamic, tend to emphasize more lower body strengthening movements, and offer more challenging balance exercises and floor work.
This is a really fun, outdoor fitness class combining the ball work from Dynamic Flow with partner resistance band work, partner juggling, and other movement practices.
Our tradition is to take a swim at the end of class, but of course this is completely optional 🙂
$15
You will need a 1, 2, or 3 lb “Softmed” medicine ball. I have these balls and can bring one for you to try. Balls are available for purchase from me ($20), or you can order one online.
I would also recommend bringing and/or wearing a bathing suit if you want to take a swim after class 🙂
This class is specifically for people who are attending the 5-part lecture series titled The Body in Motion.
