upper body strength & flexibility / JKA Solvents and Glue Part 2 {on Zoom}

⭕ Find new & creative ways to foster strength, flexibility & stamina in being upright

Solvents and Glue is a movement system created and developed by Jeremy Krauss.

Solvents and Glue is a special 2 part series of lessons for strengthening, solidifying, and special toning through an enormous variety of very precise movements that bring structural clarity to major joints of the body.

The sequences are invigorating to the musculoskeletal system and are a fitting complement to Feldenkrais, Yoga, Pilates, as well as any other physical exercise, sport or wellness practice.

⭕ You will learn:
~ ways to gain strength and stamina of your legs and upper body
~ clear directions for alignment of your knees, ankles and hips joints
~ to bring more solidity to muscles in your upper thighs
~ clarify the connection of your ankles, buttocks and diaphragm
~ strengthen your upper back
~ find new and creative ways to create flexibility snd strength in being upright

⭕ Who is this for?
~ These workshops are open to all. No previous experience necessary.
~ For those who practice the Feldenkrais Method: We often use the Feldenkrais Method to make ourselves and others looser and more flexible; more ‘dissolved’, but some of us need more ‘glue’ to keep us together and solidify us.
~ For those who practice Bones for Life - You will find this a very fitting addition and compliment to the understanding and use of the upright position.
~ For those who practice Pilates - you will gain a new perspective and understanding of the positions used in Pilates and how to improve your practice in them
~ For those that practice Yoga - you will find original ways to assist your daily practice
