Movement Collage

Linda Smith, Mary Poxon & Ken Bridgeman 4-28-2019

At last year’s convention, our Sunday morning movement class was a collage of movements led by several people. The feedback about this “round-robin” style of class was so positive that we decided to do it again. In “round one”, each presenter will guide us in a movement of their choice. In “round two”, each presenter will guide us in a different movement. We may even have time for a “round three”! Each movement will be complete in itself. There is no particular theme or connection between the movements—just favorite or particularly effective movements from each presenter’s clients and students.
