Feb – June Johanna S. Meyer

Class incorporates dance, somatic practices, and strength training. These approaches are used to work with a range of bodies. We use props in-conjunction with Pilates exercises to open and release tightness that might inhibit movement. We organize our alignment through each exercise creating balance between strength, flexibility, and coordination.

Adi has been performing internationally with artists such as Kolben Dance Company, Stuffed Animals Dance Collective, Thea Little and Sue Jeong Ka.
