Oblique Block Party!

Two-Hour Master Class
With Madeline Black + Trina Altman
Sunday, July 18th @ 9a - 11a PDT / 12p - 2p EDT

Join Madeline Black and Trina Altman for a tactile, spiral-focused experience using a yoga block to understand how sensory input affects motor output and why new and varied movements are important for the body. Discover your own movement + gait patterning and how to shift toward feeling more at ease in your body.

Understand the combined motions of the joints from the feet through the head for optimal gait to develop an eye for discovering an individual’s unique movement strategy. Knowing your client’s strategy for movement is the key to knowing how to approach their session and cueing their body.

During this special two-hour master class, expect to learn movement strategies to amplify exploration and creativity for yourself and your clients.
