INTRO TO CONTORTION

Instructor: Lena Fumi
Date & Time: Sunday 11/10 11:00am - 12:15pm (75 minutes)

Workshop Description: Intro to contortion - beginner to intermediate level. This workshop focuses on conditioning and stretching exercises geared towards increasing range of motion, balance, and strength for the art of contortion. We will work on both active and some passive flexibility drills to build the skills necessary to achieve beginner to advanced contortion poses. Having started learning contortion at the age of 36 with no prior backbend training, Lena will share some insights into learning and gaining advanced skills later in life, as well as maintaining longevity. Starting with a short warmup, participants will move into strengthening drills for targeted muscle groups before working on splits, active shoulder opening, and backbends. Participants will explore their understanding of body mechanics, focusing on alignment and technique, while learning drills that can be suited towards their individual flexibility needs. These tools are essential in learning contortion skills, increasing proprioception, and finding shapes to work with. We will also try and have fun in the process!

Recommended tools are 2 yoga blocks, a yoga strap, and plenty of water. A foam roller may also be helpful.

This workshop is open to BEGINNING/INTERMEDIATE levels.
