ANATO-MAT with Danica Kalemdaroglu

We will break down Joe's original 34 mat exercises as demonstrated in Return to Life for their anatomical function. Then we'll dive deeper connecting the apparatus to the mat, learning how all of the apparatus is about building strength to return to the mat. 

This is an all day workshop done in two 3 hour sessions with a 1 hour lunch break in the middle. 

Hour 1 - Mat class teaching Joe's original mat repertoire from Return to Life. 

Hours 2 & 3 - Anatomical  breakdown of each exercise for their root purpose and kinesiological importance. 

Lunch Break

Hour 4 & 5 - Reformer integration. We'll detail how the springs and moving carriage facilitate the mat repertoire building strength and awareness.

Hour 6 - Partnered teaching exploration where we return to the mat work but cue from the influence of the Reformer. Thereby uniting the method from apparatus to the mat.
