Workshop Description

​

In this three-part session, we will touch on three main aspects that form the foundation of Leah’s practice- building strength, expanding your range, and elevating your movement expression.

We’ll begin on gymnastics rings, developing upper-body strength, stability, and body awareness through accessible progressions and controlled skill work. A full-body mobility session, exploring active range, joint control, and fluidity to create freedom and ease throughout your whole system. Finishing with a contemporary/ contemporary jazz movement session where you get to translate strength and mobility into dynamic choreography. Leah’s aims are to make you feel stronger, move better, and connect more deeply with your body.
