Instructor: Jere Shea is a Tony-nominated actor and performer who was most recently seen in the Ben Affleck and Matt Damon-produced Showtime television series "City on a Hill”. For a list of Jere's credits, visit imdb.me/jereshea.

This class is a movement-freeing, joint-opening workout that gently helps you find strength by connecting to your natural curves and spirals. It has grown out of Cathy Fallon's lifelong passion for and exploration of Classical Ballet, Modern dance, Pilates, and the Alexander Technique.

We begin with a quiet floor warm-up that asks us to tune in to where we are holding tension, and connect with a process of letting it go. With the help of small and medium sized foam balls that encourage circular movement both into and away from our center, we develop a series of exercises following the theme of the class. One day it may be freeing the hip joints. Another day we may open up the ribs and shoulders. Our goal is to rediscover our innate and efficient “self-use”.

Class works toward building core strength and free flowing movement in tandem with conscious control of the breath. We may continue with standing balance explorations, always with the intention of staying unstressed and curious. We return to the floor to quietly re-center, sometimes using the balls for support, letting the body process our discoveries. Join us to play with gravity, and circle back to yourself in this safe, non-competitive, judgment-free class!
