Classes for Adults

Chi/Dance/Exercise For Women with Loretta Thomas. This class combines Modern dance with Chinese health exercise forms and Yoga to give the benefits of these ancient forms in a movement oriented class. The first section of class is composed of a series of standing exercises which develop strength in the hips, legs and upper arms while improving breath, posture and stamina. Daily tensions are released through the use of the breath throughout the class and during the stretching exercises done on the floor at the end of class.

This exercise form was developed by Thomas based on her 16 years of study in Chinese healing arts, 25 years of dance training and study in several yoga forms as well as her research about women’s bodies during her own pregnancy and childbirth. She has created an exercise technique which is done to international music, is fun to do and in which students reap the benefits of her knowledge of the body.

Classes are wonderful for all ages as they are not overly strenuous. Classes can be done during pregnancy helping prepare the body for the birth process and can help in recovery post-partem. Emphasis is placed on women’s problem areas and on keeping the body youthful and healthy through focusing on alignment and improving the breathing capabilities. Classes are kept small to allow for individual attention.
