Decode Your Core

About this event

Are you still struggling to figure out what "hollow body" and "engage your abs" really mean? Do you find yourself plateauing at skills that require strength you're not sure how to tap into? Whether you're working on your aerial, acrobatic, dance, or other movement skills, proper core engagement is the foundation of your practice. You can unlock the mysteries of seemingly impossible feats by starting with the foundation. Sam Alvarez, a circus performance veteran and instructor of 20+ years has coached multitudes of artists on how to work with their bodies more efficiently and safely. He can help you decode the complexity of movement and become a master of controlling your own body. This class is open to all levels and will cover: Max tall - how to fully extend the body, so that you body alignment works more effectively to support your weight (terrific for mastering handstands, and full body control) 4 base core shapes (hollow, tight arch, side arch on both sides) - these are the active core shapes in their simplest form. Any acrobatic movement involves the use of these 4 forms. We will work the forms statically and in motion - to be able to apply them to whatever skills you are looking to master. All levels welcome! This class is for adults (16+)
