Rosen Method Movement
RosenDance
Rosen Method Movement is about being aware of our body moving, sensing/feeling our body moving, staying in our body as we move. More than a "work-out", a Rosen Method Movement class is a "work-in".
A wide variety of wonderful music supports the tempo and the intention of each movement.
As we move to music, we reawaken the dancer within, we rediscover the joy of moving.
I call it our RosenDance class.

The Method
The Rosen Method of Movement is a simple form taught by Movement teachers leading :
- Weekly group classes
- Daily classes during Bodywork Intensives
- Rosen Method Movement Intensives ( 5 days focused on Rosen Method movements )
The form "moving-to-music" includes a repertoire of simple, non-strenuous
movements, i.e. stretching, bending, rocking, tilting, twisting, lifting,
circling, hugging, bouncing, etc... addressing:
- The full range of motion for major joints
- The expansion of the chest and the rib cage
- The releasing of the diaphragm muscle
- The awareness of the free natural breath
- The lengthening of all muscles
- The experience of relaxation in movement
- The experience of moving from inside out
The Benefits
As we "move-to-music," we witness and allow:
- New space opening up inside
- New patterns of movements and alignement manifesting
- Rekindled curiosity for inner explorations
- The re-awakening of the mover/dancer we were once as uninhibited children
- The joy bubbling out of our core self
- The potential for creativity emerge
- The birth of a sacred space for our own personal dance to the music that inspires us
