Rosen Method Movement Classes

 

Building Trust ... One Movement at a Time

 

Rosen Method Movement has been taught in the Bay Area for over 60 years, and I've been teaching it since 1998.  The weekly 75-minute classes combine simple exercises and fun music to invite awareness, ease, and pleasure in movement.  We have a great time moving, exploring, and connecting.  The movements are simple and practical, and the impact is profound. 

Try it - you'll like it!

 

 

 

ESSENTIALS

  • Music for inspiration
  • Movements based on anatomy, activating core, allowing free and natural breath
  • Words to guide inner-awareness
  • Community for support and connection
  • Presence, experiential, responsive to aliveness
  • Joyous, playful, fun
  • Space for whatever has not been allowed 
  • Pause for discovery of habits and possibilities

SECTIONS OF A CLASS

A basic one-hour class is comprised of five sections:

  1. Warm-Up:  mid-range movements of the joints in their anatomical directions;  activating core muscles and diaphragm
  2. Stretch:  end-range movements of upper body to encourage inner-awareness and freedom in diaphragm
  3. Circle:  bigger, more complex leg movements holding hands for support and to play with balance
  4. Across the Floor: put it all together to play with dance and have fun
  5. On the Floor:  movements for the spine, rest, relaxation,  awareness, and integration

All of the sections are done to music that

  • supports and
  • inspires the movements. 

All of the sections cultivate and encourage

  • awareness,
  • natural breathing, and
  • moving from the core.
