WHAT IS ROSEN METHOD MOVEMENT?
Rosen Method Movement encourages natural, free breathing and uses gentle stretching, swinging and exercises to improve body alignment and flexibility. During each class the joints of the body are moved through their full range of motion. Supported by music, this movement is done in a lively group setting. Some movements are done individually, others with partners or in a circle.
The class allows people to release physical holding and in the process, to rediscover the joy of movement. For those with limitations the effect is often restorative. The clases provides a spacious, joyful sense of one's body at rest and in daily activity. This easy and pleasurable exercise provides a thorough method for maintaining fluid motion over the years.
