Pain-Free, Powerful Body: Self-Healing through 3-Dimensional Body Movement with Joan Forest Mage
Friday, July 02, 2010, 07:00pm - 10:00pm

Join us for an amazing class and help us raise funds for Life Force Arts Center, a non-profit organization. Hurry, limited class space available in each session. See below for scheduled sessions.

Heal and strengthen your body by restoring its natural, 3-dimensional movement through Bartenieff Fundamentals movement training. Anyone with a body can benefit from this workshop, which gives you important tools to stay in tune with your physical body for the rest of your life.

Based in understanding the simple principle of moving in three dimensions (height, width and depth) these exercises balance both deep and superficial muscles through working in a relaxed way and moving in all spatial directions.

The movements are practiced on the floor, seated and standing, and the instructor shows modifications of the exercises adapted to the fitness level of each participant. 

This training can enable you to:

  • reduce tension, stress and injury
  • find the greatest ease and efficiency of movement for your body
  • alleviate both chronic and acute muscular pain
  • increase range of motion, strength, flexibility, and the mind-body connection

This workshop is excellent for all levels of fitness, from individuals suffering from chronic pain to professional athletes and dancers.

Take charge of your self-healing through knowing the principles of 3-dimensional body movement.

Joan Forest Mage has taught body movement since 1982, including dance, aerobics, somatics, yoga and her own form of shamanic performance. She is a Certified Movement Analyst with the Laban-Bartenieff Institute in New York, where she learned the Bartenieff system of somatic education. Joan founded her own performance company in 1988 and has a master's degree from the School for New Learning, DePaul University, Chicago.
